MEN’S RETREAT NOV. 16-18, 2018 ENCOUNTERING JESUS You are invited to join us for our parish Men’s Retreat to be held at Holy Trinity Monastery in St. David, AZ. Our keynote speaker will be Fr. Scott Harris, Maryknoll Missionary, and M.D. (trauma surgeon). Fr. Scott was our interim pastor for nine months in 2015. He spent roughly 17 years in parts of remote Africa plus seven years in China (1993-2010). The following Fr. Scott quote is indicative of why he is our spiritual presider for a third straight year: "The Holy Spirit is actively at work in the present. Our relationships, the most precious things we have, after our faith, demand that we do not go to sleep on our anger, nor forget to say I Love You and Forgive me, I Am Sorry, Thank You or Well Done." This weekend retreat is designed to lead men into a profound, personal encounter with the living Jesus and what it means to be a man who walks with God. “You can’t have a closed heart if you want to understand Jesus” - Pope Francis
