Everyday God
Fr. Anthony Ciorra
God's grace is blowing in the wind and all we have to do is open up our sails. We are flooded with God's grace in the midst of the ordinariness of everyday life. All we have to do is pay attention, open our eyes and become mystics. " The Christian of the future will be a mystic or not exist at all." (Karl Rahner). This retreat will be an invitation to embrace and experience our Everyday God in the spirit of Vatican II's Universal Call to Holiness.
$196 per person. $302 couples, $110 commuters
