TRANSCRIPT
The Light Retreat Season 2018—2019
“You are the light of the world.” Matthew 5:14 Bringing the Light of Christ to a Broken World
OUR LADY OF FLORIDA SPIRITUAL CENTER
For centuries church bells have been pealing forth to
welcome home the faithful and to reconnect and
rediscover the call to prayer and holiness. The bells
remind us that we are Christians and most importantly
we believe in life, transformation, joy and the
resurrection.
"Do not be afraid of holiness. It will take away none of your energy, vitality or joy," writes Pope Francis in
"Rejoice and Be Glad" his apostolic exhortation on "the
call to holiness in today's world." God calls all of us to be
saints and not plastic statues of saints, but real people,
who make time for prayer and who show loving care for
others.
Retreats offer us a time for quiet, rest and spiritual
growth. During a retreat one will experience mass and
sacraments, there also are meaningful discussions and
thought-provoking presentations and workshops on our
theme.
Pope Francis encourages us to find balance in prayer
time and "discernment," which is a gift of the Holy
Spirit. This is developed through prayer, reflection on
scripture and seeking counsel from a trusted spiritual
guide.
Come explore all that Our Lady of Florida Spiritual Center
has to offer. It is known throughout Florida for its
peaceful setting and gracious hospitality.
RETREAT THEME 2018~2019
Your Call to Holiness
Consider who you might invite to join you on a retreat
this year.
We look forward to welcoming you and your friends
with open arms here at the Spiritual Center.
Now is the time to deepen your faith, so that your faith
can be strengthened for the journey.

From the Director Florida is well known for its beautiful beaches and abundant
sunshine. Yet there are many things in Florida that people don’t
know about until a friend shows it to them. I often say this to you
when you visit here: One of the best kept secrets in Florida is Our
Lady of Florida Spiritual Center.
Unfortunately, many people don’t know about this Spiritual Center
and what we can do to enhance their lives. People come to Florida to
be refreshed physically, but the most important aspect of their lives - the refreshment of
the “SOUL” – goes unfulfilled. I need you to be Disciples of Jesus, and help change that.
Please invite one new person to join you on retreat. View this as your apostolic mission to
help bring another person closer to Christ. As I pray every morning, “Lord, let me be an
instrument to help people come to know you today, and not an obstacle that keeps people
from you.” By inviting that new person, you can be their instrument to know Christ more
fully.
I truly believe the Holy Spirit is alive and active because of the theme that we establish
each year. This year is no different; our theme is “Your Call to Holiness.” Each and every
human person feels that tug in their hearts, a tug to know God, to grow in holiness and to
become a saint.
At our Provincial Chapter in May, two of our younger Passionists renewed their temporary
vows, and God willing will make their Perpetual Vows next year. We met some of our
brothers from Puerto Rico and Haiti, which was very inspiring. But most exciting of all was
the election of our new Provincial and his council. Fr. Jim O’Shea, C.P. is our new
Provincial, Fr. Enzo Del Brocco, C.P. is 1st Consultor, Fr. Jim Price, C.P. 2nd Consultor, Fr. Bill
Murphy, C.P. is 3rd Consultor and Fr. Hugo Esparza is the 4th Consultor.
I look forward to seeing you on retreat, along with the friend you bring in response to “Your
Call to Holiness.”
Fr. Paul , C.P.
May the Passion of Jesus Christ be Always in our Hearts

Gratitude for Benefactors! Our Lady of Florida could not continue its ministry without
the generosity of you, our donors.
Some donors give for specific and practical needs, like the
installation of projection and sound equipment for the
back conference room or upgrading the main conference
room. Other donors help to add to the beauty people find
here by the installation of the marble floor in the main
chapel’s sanctuary or the addition of the St. Joseph statue
on the grounds.
Most of you donate so that we are able to pay our bills,
keep the doors open, retain good employees and manage
the upkeep of the buildings and grounds.
Some of the projects undertaken this year include repainting retreat rooms and other areas of the
Spiritual Center using high-quality paint which costs about $50 per gallon.
Insurance covered the expense of some repairs and replacement of doors and windows after Hurricane
Irma, but it was realized that other doors needed replacement before the start of hurricane season.
Your donations allowed us to make these needed upgrades.
By your specific monetary gifts, some of you make it possible for us to offer the Young Adult and the
Spanish Retreats to those in need, for whom attending would be financially
impossible.
Every time you add a little extra to the requested retreat fee, or respond
generously to our annual appeal and Gala event, you allow the Spiritual Center
to remain available to all.
Every time you remember a loved one with an additional donation, we are able to
make an unexpected repair, or add something special, like the words “Welcome
Home” to the lobby, so that everyone may experience hospitality and peace in
this place.
This is holy ground because of all who come here. This is holy ground because
you, our benefactors, make it possible for the Passionists to keep this ministry
alive in South Florida.
Thank YOU!!

Your donations make a diffence!

Saying Goodbye & Welcoming Home!
Farewell Fr. Emmanuel Gardon, C.P. August 2017, the Passionist community, staff and friends of the
Spiritual Center celebrated the life of Fr. Em. Knowing him is to know
his love for all the dogs he had, for his good humor and his great
preaching. He brought the compassion of Christ to all he met.
Joining in the wake and Mass services were men and women from
North Palm Beach Fire, Rescue & Police departments. He served as
their chaplain for many years. For the Mass those fire fighters on duty
came with their Truck and in full gear in order to be ready if they were
called out. They wanted to say farewell.
Introductions & Transitions!

Welcoming Passionists to the Community
Returning to the Spiritual Center after completing
his assignment at the Passionist Parish in Paris,
France is Fr. Francis Finnigan, C.P. Many will
remember him as the former Director here.
Also assigned to Our Lady of Florida is Fr. Edward
Wolanski, C. P. His most recent assignment was
Holy Name of Jesus Cathedral in Raleigh, NC.
Fr. Francis will arrive in September and Fr. Edward
will be here in July.
Introductions & Transitions
After 13 years at OLFSC, Maggie Albee departed for the
state of New York where her longing for all the seasons
of the year will be realized. We celebrated her presence
among us and miss her.
Fortunately, for the last few years Linn Brown has both
volunteered and worked part time assisting Maggie in
the work of the retreat coordinator office.
While Linn knows there still much to learn in her new
role, she brings her skills, compassion and friendly
presence to this important work.

Jesus meets His mother, Mary
Introduction: At Our Lady of Florida there are many crosses and
crucifixes. There are also several Stations of the Cross. Frequently
during a retreat individuals or groups will walk the outdoor stations and
take the time to meditate at each one.
When long-time retreatant, Marciano Miclat, MD, from St. Peter Parish
(PBG) made last year’s retreat (By His Wounds You are Healed) he
found himself lingering at the fourth station: Jesus meets His Mother.
He wrote the following reflection and with his permission it is shared
here.
I meditated on the Stations of the Cross in the garden early Saturday morning when the sun was just
beginning to rise.
When I reached the Fourth Station, I began to wonder what conversation must have transpired between
Jesus & His Mother when they met. Mother Mary must have been mortified when she saw her son’s
bloodied appearance. She must have asked her Son:
“What happened? What have they done to You? Why did
they do this to You? What have You done to deserve
this?”
Looking at His Mother with a tender gaze, Jesus may have
replied: “Not to worry my dear Mother, My Father in
Heaven will take care of Me & He will make everything
NEW!”
Did this signal to Mary His resurrection & that’s why she
was not at the tomb on the third day because she
believed?
(Lord, forgive my unbelief.)
As I concluded my reflection on this station, I looked through the sculpture to the west and saw a fading
full moon painted against a cerulean blue sky. Behind me was the majestic sun rising from the east.
What a sight to behold!
Meditating on the 4th Station

2019 Spiritus Dei Gala at
Lost Tree Club
Our Lady of Florida will hold our 46th
Annual “Spiritus Dei Gala” at the beautiful
Lost Tree Club in 2018.
It is never too early to mark your calendars:
Sunday Evening
March 31, 2019
Fr. Paul and the Gala committee are already
making plans for the next event. Lost Tree
has proved to be a wonderful venue so we
are returning there again.
Details of the event will be sent to everyone
later.
Meet Courtnee Hughes
Courtnee grew up spending time between the US and
the Bahamas where at an early age she became a
“foodie,” that is, interested is how food is made, how to
season it and ways to be creative with what is available.
While she enjoys cooking for family and friends, when
she came to Our Lady of Florida in the Fall of 2017, she
found a place where creativity is welcomed and her
fellow employees are “amazing.”
Her love of travel is connected with her sense of
adventure when it comes to food. She has taken a
course in Brussels, traveled to Europe, the Islands, as well as Central America looking for out of the way
places to eat and learn the local culture and customs of
the foods people prepare and eat.
Some people are born cooks with a love, care and
respect for the food of the earth and the creativity of
others. Courtnee is one of those people
Page 7 Retreat Season 2018—2019
Our Lady of Florida is deeply grateful to the “Fishermen” listed on the table to the left who have brought at least one new retreatant with them on their retreat from July, 2017 to June, 2018.
Please consider joining their ranks in our new retreat season.
May They Rest in Peace
