S t. pet er C atholiC Ch ur ch OUR UPCOMING ALL-PARISH RETREAT continued from front cover time for it. It has to be a non-negotiable in our lives.” The day begins with Mass, followed by breakfast. There are four sessions each with a talk by Fr. Kastl, then quiet time to reflect, followed by small-group discussion. A delicious lunch is also included. The retreat ends at 3 p.m. with time for participants to receive Reconciliation from 3-4 p.m. Retreat goers may also choose to attend 4 p.m. Mass. As we are focused on living out the “three Ts” of stewardship — time, talent, and treasure — Katherine says that attending the retreat is a great way of giving your time to grow closer to Christ. “God always rewards those who choose to spend time
deepening their relationship with Him,” she says. “Anyone who has attended a retreat in the past can witness to the many blessings they received during and after it.” All are encouraged to save the date and plan to attend the retreat on Feb. 20. With such a retreat taking place right in our own backyard, it would be unfortunate to miss it! The All-Parish Retreat promises to truly be a way to reset and unplug. “Don’t be afraid of what God will ask you to do as you grow in your discipleship,” Fr. Kastl says. “Retreats are intentional times to stop the busyness of life, and to be quiet and assess how we are growing in our relationship with God.”
