A Spirituality Retreat

“Once we have made the choice to say, ‘Yes, I want to follow Jesus,’ the question is What disciplines will help me remain faithful to that choice” [A Spirituality of Living, Henri J.M. Nouwen, p. 15].
“A Spirituality Retreat” invites adult disciples to explore historic prayer methods; reflect, and experience practices used throughout history to grow closer to God’s transforming love. You are invited to attend this September 25-30 retreat at Chiara Center, Springfield, Illinois.
