Evangelization Discernment Retreat

6:30 p

Sept 11-Sept 13: West retreat: Shalom Hill Farm Retreat Center near Windom, Co-led by Dr. Susan Windley-Daoust and Fr. Jonathan Fasnacht.

We are called through our baptism to be witnesses to the love of the Lord, and share his goodness. This is evangelization, and when we are encouraged and empowered it is a great joy to spread the gospel! If you are feeling the nudge (or burning fire!) to share the gospel, this is a retreat for you. You are not alone! The focus of this retreat is to give time and attention to those hearing this call, space for all to ask the Lord how to live it out, and discern the many ways you can be a witness for the Lord. Each retreat will contain silence, adoration, spiritual talks on evangelization and discernment, Mass, and community building. Meals will be simple but nourishing. Each site has lovely space to walk and be outside.

Shalom Hill Farm is minimally accessible (ask for details).

Friday evening at both sites will be an evening of song, adoration, and holy silence, a time to sink into the Holy Spirit. It is highly recommended, but if you can only come Saturday and Sunday, it can be missed. The retreat talks start promptly at 9am Saturday; those arriving Saturday should arrive by 8:30am.

Costs (to be paid at the retreat):

If you can financially help support another retreatant in need, there is a space for that, as well as a request for financial assistance. If you are uncertain about attending Friday, make your best guess for now--it can be changed up to two weeks before the retreat. Payment occurs at the retreat.
