Weseman Center, Old Church

Friday, May 25th 2018, 04:00 PM Sunday, May 27th 2018, 02:00 PM Come reflect and prayerfully explore the influences of your family of origin (your family “DNA” or your family patterns) that influence your attitudes, expectations, beliefs, and relationships. Using the backdrop of the two Great Commandments (love God and love neighbor as yourself), retreat talks will reflect on the formation of our attitudes and belief systems which influence the way we understand and relate to God, to others and even how we feel and think about ourselves. There will be ample time for personal reflection, prayer for healing of relationships, spiritual direction, and the celebration of the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Rev.

Friday, June 8th 2018, 04:00 PM Sunday, June 10th 2018, 02:00 PM Most of us think mysticism is something beyond us, something reserved for those who are so attuned to God’s voice that even the clamor of the world often teetering on the brink of chaos can shake their “inward calm.” But as many of the great teachers of the spiritual life remind us, we can be modern day mystics through the practice of awareness. The Divine One is present in our everyday life. This retreat explores how we can honor the mystic within by becoming aware of the love that God has kindled in our hearts. When we live from this mystical center of prayer, we will be catalysts for compassion, reservoirs of reconciliation, and harbors of hope for one another and our world. Rev. Joe Nassal is the author of eight books including The Conspiracy of Compassion, Rest Stops for the Soul, and Stations of the Crib. A Missionary of the Precious Blood, he has been engaged in retreat, renewal and reconciliation ministry since 1988. Ordained in 1982, Fr. Joe is presently the Provincial Director of the Kansas City Province and lives in Liberty, MO.

Friday, June 29th 2018, 04:00 PM Sunday, July 1st 2018, 04:00 PM The New Testament is populated with the questions of many people, but this retreat will look at the implications of questions raised by Jesus. “What do you want me to do for you?” “Are you also going to leave me?” “You are a Teacher of Israel and you do not understand these things?” “What were you discussing along the road?” “Have you caught anything?” These questions (and so many others) are raised by Jesus and need to be answered in every generation.
