LIGHT OF THE WORLD RETREAT
Many Catholics ask, “I feel I know ABOUT God, but do I KNOW God in my heart?” OLSS parishioners often wonder the same thing. We want to have a close relationship with Jesus. We want to feel Him not just in our minds but in our hearts. Have you ever asked yourself, “Do I have a personal relationship with Jesus that enhances my life?” A relationship that makes me feel He is with me all the time? That I feel His peace and joy?”
Our parish hosts a retreat twice a year that can help answer these questions! (Spring & Fall) Attending a Light of the World retreat enables you to begin or deepen your relationship with God. This retreat is for you, no matter where you are on your faith journey. Even the Pope would hear Jesus say, “Come closer to me! There is so much more I have in store for you.
The retreat includes talks, small-group discussions, inspiring faith stories, personal prayer time, and fellowship with fellow parishioners. Whether you are a new or long-time parishioner, meeting others is a great way to connect. The retreat is casual, and you don’t have to stand up and share unless you want to. Parishioners who already attended led the retreat. This is a parishioner-to-parishioner retreat, not run by professional staff. Previous attendees serve as speakers and group leaders. There is no cost, and no overnight stay is required. Delicious meals and snacks are provided. You can come alone, with a friend, or with your spouse.
The next retreat will be held May 2-5, 2025:
- Friday, May 2, 7:00-8:30 PM
- Saturday, May 3, 8:30 AM – 5:30 PM
- Sunday, May 4, 8:30 AM – 6:00 PM (includes Mass and dinner)
