The New Testament is populated with the questions of many people, but this retreat will look at the implications of questions raised by Jesus. “What do you want me to do for you?” “Are you also going to leave me?” “You are a Teacher of Israel and you do not understand these things?” “What were you discussing along the road?” “Have you caught anything?” These questions (and so many others) are raised by Jesus and need to be answered in every generation.

Come reflect and prayerfully explore the influences of your family of origin (your family “DNA” or your family patterns) that influence your attitudes, expectations, beliefs, and relationships. Using the backdrop of the two Great Commandments (love God and love neighbor as yourself), retreat talks will reflect on the formation of our attitudes and belief systems which influence the way we understand and relate to God, to others and even how we feel and think about ourselves. There will be ample time for personal reflection, prayer for healing of relationships, spiritual direction, and the celebration of the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
