Talks and Schedule

The Trinity and the Family (Friday, October 25 | 7:00 pm)

“Father (forehead), Son (chest), and Holy Spirit (left shoulder – right shoulder).”

If you’ve spent time around the Catholic Church, you’ve heard these words time and again. The Sign of the Cross expresses the most central doctrine of our faith: the Trinity. There is only one God, but within the one God, there
are three Persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. The Trinity is enormously important — but just like the Sign of the Cross, we rarely take time to think about it. Do you know what the Trinity means for your life and for
your family? This talk will give you an answer to that question.

Join us for a light reception afterwards in the Parish Hall.

The Broken Image (Saturday, October 26 | 10:00 am)

There is one domain of human life which is intended, perhaps more than any other, to give us a taste of the Trinity: the family. Unfortunately, the collective effects of the industrial, sexual, and digital revolutions have obscured
our image of the family. What are the fundamental threats facing the family today? How do we overcome those threats? This talk will dissect the problems and give concrete solutions.

*CONFESSION SATURDAY 8:00 am – 12:30 pm. MULTIPLE PRIESTS AVAILABLE. ALL PARTICIPANTS ENCOURAGED TO RECEIVE CONFESSION*

Reclaiming the Image (Saturday, October 26, | 11:30 am)

Contrary to what our culture tells us, masculinity and femininity are sacred things; that’s why Satan attacks them. These talks are about reclaiming the sacred nature of what it means to be a man or woman. What is the biblical image of masculinity? What is the biblical image of femininity? How do we reclaim that image in our lives? Content suitable for adults (not children) and appropriate for all fathers/mothers and potential future fathers/mothers.

• Men’s Talk (Main Church): Biblical themes and reflection on fatherhood and masculinity.
• Women’s Talk (Parish Hall): Biblical themes and reflection on sacred motherhood and femininity.

Sunday Masses (Sunday, October 27 | 7:30, 9:30 and 11:30 am)

All Sunday liturgies will be celebrated by Father James Brent, O.P. Homilies will dive into the primary themes of the retreat: God’s fatherly love and the beauty of the family.
