SPRED REFLECTION WEEKEND 

SPRED Reflection Weekends are an annual opportunity for catechists to gather from parishes far and wide.  Each of us reflects on a life experience based on a theme chosen for the year. Using the elements of a SPRED session, each of us weaves our story into the model, while deepening our understanding of the SPRED process. 

The Reflection Weekend is also a time to enjoy the quiet beauty of nature in winter, the peace-filled setting and wonderful hospitality provided by our hosts.  It is a time to participate in beautiful prayer sessions, Mass on Saturday Evening and most of all, time to join in the fellowship with those from other SPRED communities.

Our next SPRED Reflection Weekend will be:
Jan. 2026

​at the Carmelite Spirituality Center 
Located in Darien IL.
​
It is not too early to begin thinking about
setting this time aside for yourself.

​        Reflection Weekend Experience
​
           We come together and explore within us the meaning
            of our precious life moments.
            We share our stories and marvel at our sameness as we give
            voice to the uniqueness of each one's life.

            We embrace what we have newly learned
​             but have somehow known all along.


                                 LIFE IS SACRED.     
                                 GOD IS WITH US.     
                                 BE NOT AFRAID.     
​​                                 GO IN PEACE.
