PARISH RESOURCES

The Archdiocesan-wide Retreat lasts from the Feast of Christ the King until Christmas.  Each week, the faithful are invited to participate in the retreat through an intentional hearing of the Gospel message during the homily at Mass.  These guides are intended to help focus on the key points and foster discussion among family, friends, Bible Study and Small Groups, as well as on an individual basis in prayer.

Parishes may find it useful to print some out and place in the pews.
