Does the parish sponsor retreats? How do I sign up?
The Parish sponsors Cornerstone retreats, a 26-hour retreat/renewal process that brings parishioners together to grow personally in their knowledge and love of God. It is also a very special way to experience the Christian community within the parish environment. We offer an annual Cornerstone retreat for women in February and for men in March.
A parish team organizes and runs the annual Cornerstone retreats. Each team member shares his or her gifts by leading small group discussions, speaking on selected themes, praying with scripture, or planning prayer services. During the retreat people have the opportunity to share personal experiences of God’s love and activity in their lives. The Cornerstone retreat weekend begins on Friday evening at 6:45 pm and ends on Saturday with a family liturgy and celebration. The retreat takes place at St. Paul Interparochial School. The parish team organizes sleeping accommodations, meals, and snacks. During the weekend, each retreatant has ample opportunity for prayer, scripture reading, and sharing through small group discussions. On Friday evening, the Sacrament of Reconciliation is available. After Saturday dinner, all retreatants attend a Family Liturgy. Family members are cordially invited to attend also. The retreat concludes with a reception.
The next Cornerstone retreats are:
February 1-2, 2008 (Women)
March - date to be announced (Men)
