 2012 Retreat Theme:
Darkness and Light Are But One: Embracing Our Seasons of Faith
Life is filled with peaks and valleys, with direct routes and with many detours (on some of these detours the road can be quite rough or uneven). Each of these moments offers us an opportunity for grace. Popular culture would have us believe that grace is found most readily in the “warm-fuzzy” times of our lives. But it is often during moments of pain or crisis that we are invited to plumb the depths of our being; during moments like these, grace seems to be conspicuous by its perceived absence. Like Job, well-intentioned “comforters,” try to ply us with platitudes and sound-byte answers when we really need someone to respect our experience, to listen to us, and to walk with us, no matter how rocky or uncertain the path ahead.
 Conferences:
1. Embracing Our Seasons of Faith
2. Forget Fairness; Find Forgiveness
3. The Mystery of Suffering
4. Staying Faith-Full
Our 2012 retreat theme will focus on honoring the various seasons of faith in our lives. How can we honor and embrace the totality of our faith life? Does our preoccupation with the apparent lack of fairness in life impede us from really living? Where is forgiveness in all of this? How does the paradox of the Cross speak to our hearts and form our responses to the demands of everyday life? What are the ways in which we nurture and support our Faith?
