| St. Leo Abbey Oblates Retreat Do you remember which year this is, 2007 or 2008? If so, leave a comment. |
The retreat will begin the evening of Friday, October 1 and end Sunday, October 3, 2010. The program and schedule are being prepared. Costs will be posted as soon as they are set. The annual oblate retreat is the favorite event of the oblate year for many oblates.
The feast day for Saint Therese of the Child Jesus, Virgin and Doctor of the Church is Friday, October 1, 2010. The feast day for the Holy Guardian Angels is Saturday, October 2, 2010. Both Saint Therese of the Child Jesus and the Holy Guardian Angels are depicted in two of the stained-glass windows in the Abbey's Church of the Holy Cross.
You might want to pick a theme for yourself as you begin preparing for the retreat -- Saint Therese and the Guardian Angels might be good subjects for such a personal theme in the weeks leading up to the retreat.
For questions about the retreat please post a comment or e-mail StLeoOblates@gmail.com.
John, thanks for creating such a beautiful blog as a way for all of us to stay connected between the meetings!

ReplyDeleteJohn, your idea for preparing ourselves for the retreat using the Feast of St Therese and the guardian angels is wonderful. EWTN once had a Benedictine do a teaching on the life of St Therese. Can't remember his name...I could look it up. I think it was offered on DVD.

Hi Caroline,
ReplyDeleteThank you for the comment. I have not started preparing for the retreat, but now is the time I should be thinking about it. Right now I am leaning to the guardian angels.
