Leadership Retreat

The Christian Leadership Retreat at Holy Family was a wonderful success. I was really moved by the events of the weekeend (April 22-24), and it was bittersweet to see it come to an end. The spirit was moving over the weekend, and if we manage to carry even just a whisper of that spirit back to our schools, parishes, homes, jobs and communities, I am confident that the momentum of the weekend can carry on and touch a lot of people.

So many people shared so much that weekend. My favorite moments? Hard to pick:
  • Sharing meals at our table with a great group of people
  • Some of the funniest "most embarrassing moments" I've ever heard
  • The Bonfire
  • Having the privilege to speak to such a wonderful group and sharing Fr. Arrupe's inspiration
  • The talent show
  • Saturday night in the Chapel
So, feel free to share your own favorite moments by posting a comment. Thanks to everyone at Holy Family for making it all possible! Props to all of the retreatants for making the choice to come!!

You will all continue to be in my prayers. Peace.
