Setting out is part of our lives. Setting out on a vacation trip or to visit friends, setting out into a new period of our lives, setting out with Jesus as his active and missionary disciples. During this weekend, praying with biblical sending stories, we will reflect upon leaving former places, habits and attachments behind so we can start afresh and with greater freedom in our human lives and on our journey of faith. This retreat will help us listen to Christ throughout this year and put into practice what we have understood. The schedule includes brief conferences, silence, Mass, Confession, fellowship, and spiritual direction. Open to all ages. Scholarships available.
