Guests who attended this weekend's retreat, Catholic Renewal through the New Evangelization, spent time attending conferences, sharing their faith journeys, joining us in our prayers of the Divine Office and spending personal time in silence and reflection. The retreat was an initiative that began with diocesan pastor, Fr. Jeff Lewis, as he sought to provide an opportunity for his parishioners to spend a few days on retreat and have a deeper understanding of the New Evangelization. Presentations encouraged one in his/her personal Faith journey and pointed out the spiritual strength and benefits of evangelizing as a parish community.
