2023 ​Priest Retreat

​Wholeness & Holiness 
How do we experience our wholeness and holiness as individuals and as Church?
  • Sanctum Retreat Centre - Monday to Friday, May 1-5, 2023 
  • Mount St. Francis Retreat Centre - Monday to Friday, May 8-12, 2023  
​
​Each of us are called by name by Christ to serve the people of God. We are called to bring our whole selves to the Church: “For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ.”  
 
With seven brief sessions, a gentle reflection on who we are at this moment and an invitation through scripture to draw ourselves more deeply to Christ. An awareness, too, of where we may be lacking or even experiencing brokenness, and where healing can take place.

Retreat begins on Monday at 6:30 pm with dinner and will end on the Friday with breakfast. You will need to bring your alb, stole, and breviary. Register now or scroll below.
