The Essex Catholic Community is once again hosting a Light of the World Retreat.
Save th
e Date: Weekend of September 29-Oct 2. What is a Light of the World Retreat?
The Light of the World Retreat is an immersive weekend retreat experience where participants personally encounter Christ through the presentation of the "kerygma" - the basic gospel message. Since this is our second retreat, members of our parish will deliver the retreat with two Light of the World Retreat Evangelizers.
Participants from last year's retreat are excited to work on this retreat especially to encourage our parishioners to attend and enjoy the same experience they had at the last retreat..
Visit Youtube to hear what they have to say about what the retreat meant for them. Click on this link to view those who encourage you to make a commitment to this year's Retreat: https://www.youtube.com/@LOTWEssexVT-gk7dh/featured
We meet Friday evening, all day Saturday and Sunday with Mass, and the retreat closing is Monday evening. The retreat is free! Meals provided! See a more detailed schedule below."Come Follow Me and I will give you rest." Mt 11:28
