SPRED REFLECTION WEEKEND

St. Benedict Abbey

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 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.

​
Please note, due to the unique circumstance of this time, our next planned weekend will be 
January 8th, 9th, and 10th, 2022
​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 jchqofa3@gmail.com
or 773-539-7510

2020 Reflection Weekend 
​

Our Reflection Weekend has come and gone.

Who knew, as we sat for this closing picture January 12th, 2020, what the year ahead would bring?
​>>>
 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.
>>>
We look ahead.
