Encounter Christ
through the
Holy Spirit

The retreat is a grace that helps us focus upon the role of the Holy Spirit in the life of the Christian Community, and upon the Sacraments of Initiation: Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist. The Gospel Tradition is proclaimed through a series of personal testimonies during which lay Catholics share their stories of faith. Small group discussions give retreatants the opportunity to talk and perhaps for the first time say out loud who and what God means to them and how He has touched their lives. Through a special Liturgy of Consecration, the gifts of the Holy Spirit are rekindled and stirred within the lives of the people. The retreat uniquely moves from the basic foundations of initiation and conversion to specific actions necessary in one’s walk to live the Christian Life: prayer and study, suffering, community and witnessing.
