Saying "No" to Give a Deeper "Yes": A Live Virtual Retreat
July 19, 2020 6:30 pm to 9:30 pm
A Virtual Evening of Reflection for Men & Women
Life is full of choices. And when we say “Yes” to many things, even good things, that’s not a good thing. We invite you to spend a virtual evening with two Father Michaels, both of whom struggle with this issue in their lives. They’ll share what they’re learning from their mistakes, and how the Holy Spirit is guiding us all toward greater balance in our lives.
The evening consists of reflections, guided prayer, and optional small group sharing.
Program Cost: $25.00
