This weekend our parish's clergy gathered at the St. Benedict
Retreat Center for their annual retreat together.
Fr. Damian led the retreat which considered lessons from St. Francis. In particular they looked at qualities St. Francis displayed in his life such as Solitude, Humility, Prayer, Chastity, Community, Compassion and Service.
It was also a chance for them to pray together, eat
together and connect more with one another.
The clergy have been meeting since the St. Benedict Center was built. The Retreat Center is on the bluff north of Schuyler and is surrounded by farmland. It has been a tradition for them to walk around the section together. They were fortunate that it was a little cooler on Saturday for the walk.
All of us need to "retreat" to God and recharge.
