Healing Retreat – Restored by Love A retreat on inner healing led by Fr. Adam Zettel, LC, and a team of collaborators. The retreat theme is based on the teaching of Dr. Bob Schuchts, author of “Be Healed”. This retreat seeks to help you uncover the lies that are rooted in past wounds and renounce them in the name of Jesus. From there, you will be free to find your identity as a son or daughter of God in the truth that he speaks to you in your place of brokenness. In a gentle approach that respects the time you may need, this healing retreat helps to open up the most difficult parts of your personal history to Jesus, in the context of his loving care for you, so that you can be restored by his love. May 10 – 12th at St. Benedict’s Parish in Milton. For more information see below or the parish bulletin board.
Cursillo Weekends: Women’s Weekend is Thursday May 30 – June 2, 2024
Men’s Weekend is April 25-28 in Orton.
We all know God, but how many of us truly know God on a personal and intimate level? A three day Cursillo weekend, which is a short review of Christianity, is designed to help you on that journey. Beginning on Thursday night and ending Sunday afternoon, through a series of talks by lay people and clergy, Celebration of Mass and Reconciliation, you will get to take a closer look at yourself, God, and others. So, if you are an adult, 19 years of age or older, and are open to a closer relationship with our God and Saviour, consider Cursillo. For more information, please contact Tony or Colleen at 519-496-8114
