A Retreat for Busy People

One of the calls of the Year of Great Jubilee is to have ‘fallow’ time, that is, to find time in our hectic lifestyles to reflect, recreate and play, so that there is a balance in our lives. In order to help people implement ‘fallow’ time, we are delighted to offer, for the seventh year, an opportunity for the people of Geelong and district to make a ‘retreat in Daily Life’.

These retreats have proven to meet the needs of busy people, some of whom make them on a regular basis.

This year the retreat begins with an opening session on Saturday, 13 May, and finishes with a concluding session on Saturday, 3 June. Both these sessions will be held at St Peter & Paul Hall, 1 Malone St, Geelong West.

As well as these two sessions, you are asked to commit yourself to 10-20 minutes of personal prayer each day. In order to help you with this prayer, you will meet with your Retreat Director twice weekly. The cost of the retreat is $65, or whatever part of this amount you can afford.

We ask you to give this retreat consideration if you:

• Have felt the need to pray but are not sure how to get started,

• Feel your faith is sluggish and you want to be re-energised,

• Feel the need to evaluate your life at present,

• Are searching for renewed meaning in life, or

• Want to delve into your personal story.
