I Want to Know Christ Jesus —
A Retreat with St. Paul

• Specialist in the synoptic Gospels & earliest sources of the
Gospels; PhD New Testament & MA Theology, University of
St. Michael’s College, Toronto
• Served 4 years in Peru missions
• Author: The Christ of the Miracles Stories: Portrait Through
Encounter
When I was a graduate student, I dreaded taking the necessary course on Paul because I thought he was sexist and caught in the first century, endorsing slavery and women’s
subordination. Then I discovered in the courses, that those are precisely the letters that Paul did not write! Instead we see the Apostle with women friends and leaders and married couples on whom he counted! Together we will share a retreat with St. Paul and be inspired by his love of Christ and longing to reach out to everyone in the world in Christs’ name.
Daily Eucharist.
Offering: $420. $75 deposit.
Early Bird: $395, if registered by May 7, 2012.

Daring to Embrace the Other:
Doing Peace in Our Day
Sun., June 10, 5:30pm –
Sat., June 16, 2012, 9:30am
Director: Kathy Warren OSF
• Author of Daring to Cross the Threshold: Francis of Assisi
Encounters Sultan Malek al-Kamil
• Lecturer on topics of Muslim-Christian interaction, peacemaking
and interreligious dialogue
• Producer of DVD documentary about Muslim-Christian
interaction in today’s world (www.DamiettaProject.com)
• Guide for the Franciscan Pilgrimage Programs
• Worked with and among the people of the Philippines, Nigeria,
Ghana, India and Ireland in addition to many dioceses in the U.S.
Too many people in this world are
having a difficult time living peacefully with those who are “other.” Peacemaking occurs when people hear about and see peace initiatives – whether simple and ordinary
ones or bold and unusual ones. Francis of Assisi’s timeless vision and spirituality is at the core of this retreat as we reflect on both ordinary and extraordinary ways to “do” peace. Francis’
encounter with the Sultan of Egypt, Malek al-Kamil, stands as a poignant paradigm for our time as we seek ways to respect differences among people and to tame the violence in our world. This retreat explores the
questions about how to live as neighbor with those
we do not know or understand even as we commit
ourselves to being more forgiving and accepting of those closest to us. Daily Eucharist.
Offering: $420. $75 deposit.
Early Bird: $395, if registered by May 14, 2012.

We all know by heart the joyful, sorrowful, and glorious mysteries of the Rosary. Some people even know the luminous mysteries! But there are other mysteries within the pages of scripture which seem to be ordinary mysteries. If we listen to our lives we discover how many ordinary mysteries there are, and in that discovery, the gospel happens. We will reflect on some of these mysteries which we find not only in the life of Jesus and Mary and the early disciples but also in our lives. We will reflect on these ordinary mysteries like displacement, gratitude, friendship and others. Daily Eucharist.
