Retreat Weekends – Gospel Characters
About
Please join us at Capuchin Retreat for our 2024-2025 Retreat Season with this season’s theme covering Gospel Characters. When we read the gospels, the good news of God’s salvation as revealed by Jesus Christ, we tend to focus on Jesus’ teachings and actions. We want Jesus to shape our lives so that we can live most fully aligned with God’s will. That makes us good disciples and followers of Jesus.
Yet another way we can strengthen our discipleship is to notice the other characters in the gospel stories and see how God works in and through them. How do they receive their call from Christ? How do they respond to it? What happens after these characters have a personal encounter with Jesus? How does their discipleship affect their families and communities? What allows them face ridicule and danger with faith?
Join us as we delve into the stories of those whose lives were linked to Jesus Christ in the Gospel. If by their connection to Jesus, they experienced transformation, conversion, and strength in their faith, so can we! Sign up today to go on a silent weekend retreat with the Gospel Characters such as Matthew, Mary of Nazareth, the Samaritan woman, the Blind Bartimaeus, Zacchaeus, Mary Magdalene, and a few others.
The suggested donation for a weekend retreat is $265.00
