SPRED REFLECTION WEEKEND 2024
|
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 of St. Benedict Abbey and time to share wonderful hospitality provided by the Benedictine Community. 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. |
Next Reflection Weekend:
January 12th - 14th, 2024 Click here to REGISTER at St. Benedict Abbey Retreat Center on the beautiful grounds of Benet Lake, WI. It is not too early to begin thinking about setting this time aside for yourself. If you are interested and would like to learn more, please contact Julia Hess, SPRED Coordinator at: jhess@archchicago.org or 773-539-7510

Reflection Weekend 2023
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.
