Reawakening Hope

December 01, 2016 9:06 PM | Deleted user

We again, want to invite you to the 2017 Winter Retreat!
We have found that this is a great way to start the New Year!
Here is a synopsis of the retreat theme, from the King’s House Director, Fr. Jim Deegan:
“Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.” (Is 40:31)
The trials and difficulties of life have a way of eroding our hope. Often they convince us that we’re the only solution and we begin relying on our own abilities. When we are hurting, how quickly we begin looking for a “fixer” God.
Spirituality is not about remaking God, but about transforming ourselves. Spiritual transformation comes from a personal encounter with Jesus Christ. Throughout the Gospels, people follow Jesus in the hope of finding new life and inner freedom. We, too, are called to follow and listen to the Divine Presence in our lives.
Pope Francis reminds us that “the Church is sent to reawaken hope everywhere…” How do we reawaken hope in ourselves and in others? Hope gives us energy and direction for the journey. Join us at King’s House where our hope can be reawakened as we are invited to become beacons of hope in our fragile world.”
Our retreat schedule is Friday evening to Sunday midday. You can arrive and register any time between 4-7pm on Friday. (Please remember, there is no Friday evening meal provided at King’s House.) Although the weekend is packed full of good things (i.e. teaching, sacraments, fellowship, singing, prayer), there is also time to relax, take in the winter beauty, visit with friends, or even take a nap!
The fee this year is $150 per person. Full or partial scholarships are available to cover the cost. We want everyone to attend who wishes to. For scholarship information, contact Jeanne Bendzinski at 612-386-3886.
You will be able to register and pay on line through our Cursillo website, or you can register in the traditional method by mailing either a $20 deposit or payment in full, made out to:
