I will be leading a Zoom retreat entitled “Spirituality: The Call to Holiness and Wholeness” Friday, Oct. 29 (7:30 pm-8:30 pm Central) and Saturday, Oct. 30 (9:30 am-2:30 pm Central). Sponsored by the Sophia Spirituality Center in Atchison, KS, the retreat will explore what is meant by the word spirituality. Then it will focus on some of the signs of a healthy spirituality such as love, respect for nature, courage in dealing with adversity, and hope. Check out the website for further details: www.sophiaspiritualitycenter.org. I’d love to meet some of you during this retreat!

I will be there in person, but the afternoon will also be offered online as well. Check the website for details: https://www.franciscancentertampa.org. I hope some of you can sign up for this “prayerful Advent pause.”
