"Time Together" - Couple's Weekend
Friday 4 to Sunday 6 June, 2010
Guided
Weekend of silence, prayer and sharing together
Partnership in love...love calls us deeper...taking time to go deeper in each others company.
I once heard someone say, " I woke up this morning and I feel as if I don't really know the person I have been living with all these years". Sometimes it is as if we find ourselves just occupying the same house rather than being in love with our partner or spouse. When we skim across the surface of our relationships, because of family or work demands, we may be missing out on the most sacred and enriching person in our lives. Sharing time together without other demands nourishes relationship and increases intimacy.
This weekend for couples will help create an environment where companioning another in life-long commitment is celebrated. Prayer and brief input on the importance of sensitivity to the heart of another, balance, and sacred sensuality will enrich each day.
The Retreat begins with the 6.00pm meal on the evening of the Friday,
followed by a brief introduction and Eucharist. It concludes after 2.00pm
Eucharist on the Sunday. There is also have opportunity for sacramental
Reconciliation and daily Eucharist.

"…set
yourself to rest in this darkness as long as you can, always crying out
for him whom you love, For if you are to experience him or to see him
at all, insofar as it is possible,
it must always be in this cloud and this darkness… "

Men's Weekend Retreat
Friday 18 to Sunday 20 June, 2010
One
of the greatest needs of our contemporary society and church is the spiritual
and psychological needs of men.
and
Jesus said to his disciples,
who were getting close to burnout;
"Come aside to a quiet place
where we can be alone
and you can rest."
He says the same to his contemporary disciples who seek to get to
know their true selves and to form a deeper, more authentic relationship
with Him. The Men's Retreat is a wonderful context in which we can allow
Jesus to do just that for us.
Be exposed to ideas on Male Spirituality. A Weekend for quiet reflection
and prayer; optional time for sharing the fruits of one's reflection with
an individual spiritual director or with the group; time for exploring
your own lived experience. There is also the opportunity to be totally
immersed in nature; for bush tracking; sitting by the open fire; relaxing.
The Retreat begins with the 6.00pm meal on the evening of the Friday,
followed by a brief introduction and Eucharist. It will conclude after
2pm Eucharist on the Sunday. Opportunity for individual Reconciliation
is available and Eucharist is celebrated daily..
