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.

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.
