Overnight Retreat Opportunity ⁣
Satisfying the Hungers of Our Hearts⁣
📅 May 27–28, 2026⁣
In the midst of the demands of parish ministry, it’s easy to feel spiritually drained. This overnight retreat is an invitation to step away, rest, and be renewed in Christ.⁣
✨ Led by Rev. Thomas Viviano⁣
Together, we will reflect on the deepest longings of the human heart:⁣
• The hunger for God⁣
• The hunger for Truth⁣
• The hunger for Love⁣
• The hunger to be challenged⁣
Come and rediscover how these profound hungers are truly satisfied in Christ, and return to your ministry refreshed and strengthened.⁣
Take this time for prayer, reflection, and renewal.⁣
