Practicing the Presence of God: Advent Centering Prayer Retreat
Thank you to all those who came to help with our fall clean-‐up! Many hands make light(er) work, and the church grounds look quite beautiful due to your efforts. Thank you for your willingness to devote your precious free time to our parish community!
Holy Family Passionist Retreat Center in West Hartford will sponsor an advent centering prayer retreat led by Gail Fitzpatrick-‐Hopler from Dec. 3 to 5. How can we experience God in the midst of daily life with all its activity, and responsibility? This retreat for men and women will explore the practice of Centering Prayer as a contemplative practice of silence.
