A Midwinter Retreat weekend for Women and Men will be held February 8-10, 2019. The theme of the retreat will be “Incarnation – The Mystery of God’s All-Embracing Love.” Every year we celebrate this mystery at Christmas, but often we miss so much of its significance, sometimes because we get too caught up in the commercialism of the season, and sometimes just because we are focusing on other aspects of this great feast, such as the newborn baby in the crib scene, or the Light vs. Darkness theme of this most holy season. The Retreat will be led by Father Marty Nassr, a senior status priest of the Diocese. The retreat starts early Friday evening, February 8, and ends with a closing late morning Mass on Sunday, February 10. The cost for the weekend will be $165.00 for overnight guests and $100.00 for commuters, which includes 4 hot meals and your program materials. For more information about this retreat, please call Brother Tom or Wendy at 419-396-7970 or e-mail at retreats@ olcshrine.com or see Our Lady of Consolation Retreat House web site at www.olcshrine.com.
