PRIESTS’ RETREAT: Thriving in the Call of God
These days together will explore those elements of our spiritual and ministerial life that bring deep fulfillment and soul satisfation: prayer, mindfulness, personal presence to others, joy in the celebration of the Eucharist and the Sacraments, and the remembering of all God's good gifts.
FR. FRANCIS BENEDICT has been a monk of Valyermo since 1967. He earned a BA in philosophy from Loyola-Marymount University and an MA in Theology from Mt. Angel in Oregon.
