Advent Retreat 2022: Cultivating a Listening Heart

Steve · November 1, 2022 · 1 Comment

For my friends in the Greater St. Louis area, 

I wanted to let you know about an advent retreat coming up soon, December 9-11, in case you’re interested in a quiet weekend away on the banks of the beautiful and meandering Meramec River in the northern reaches of the Ozarks — one of my favorite places on Earth. 

Except for the COVID year in 2020, I’ve been presenting this annual advent retreat with my friends Fr. Tom Santen and Lucia Signorelli every year since 2015. Join us this year for “Cultivating a Listening Heart” at the Marianist Retreat Center in Eureka, just outside St. Louis.  

You deserve a weekend away. More information and registration at the link below.

    Steve,
    Obviously I will not be at your retreat in December, however I am going to see about retreats in our parish because of the wonderful doors to your spiritual life these gatherings can open for all. Take Care & God Bless.
