October 10, 2026: RETREAT, 9:00am-1:00pm, in the Residence Retreat Room
Facilitated by Tim O’Connell, the retreat will focus on alternative ways of seeking a sense of God’s presence in our world. We will explore this terrain via breathing techniques, meditation, popular song and poetry. The hope is to reawaken our sense of awe and wonder through our senses, as we once did when we were children.
