Over the past years many understandings of the Eucharist have developed. This retreat will trace the scriptural origins and the rich history of a Eucharistic spirituality. Jesus is Food for our human journey and and a blessed necessity for the hungers of humanity. Vatican II reminds us that the Eucharist is “the source and summit” of our Faith. Our bishops have called for a Eucharistic revival. Hopefully this retreat will be a small contribution to a deeper understanding.

During this retreat we will look at the story for the Road to Emmaus (Luke 24) to see how Jesus accompanies us the struggles and disappointments of life. It is message of hope as Christ leads us back to Jerusalem, our home.
Theme: The Way: Walking on Pilgrimage with Jesus - As people of faith in Jeus Christ our life on earth is a pilgrimage. What are some of the events and challenges, joys and sorrows, questions and hopes that we encounter on our earthly pilgrimage.
Fr. Joe Nassal - Stations of the Resurrection - This retreat traces fifteen key moments from the gospel accounts of Jesus’ resurrection appearances to his disciples and key stories from the Acts of the Apostles that challenge us to radical transformation in the Risen Christ. From the empty tomb to the road to Damascus, the resurrection stories, and the experiences of the first community of believers offer hope for those traveling the journey of faith today. As we rest awhile at each of the fifteen stations, we gather the strength and courage to become a new creation for a wounded and weary world.
