Greetings!
For all of us who are finding that life is busy and getting busier, we invite you to be transformed by the "Power of Pause" - for the "rest" of your life. See below for details about a workshop with Terry Hershey, popular speaker, retreat leader and the author of nine books, including
The Power of Pause.
Peace and tranquility are equally important for children. And, we want to help children (the future of our church), grow closer to God. The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd, a proven and successful program does exactly that. You will hear more in the coming weeks. For now, please see the update, below.

Terry Hershey
,
popular author, retreat leader, humorist, inspirational speaker, dad, ordained minister, golf addict, and smitten by French wine. He divides his time between designing sanctuary gardens and sharing his practice of “pausing” and “sanctuary,” to help us do less and live more.
Have you ever come back from a vacation only to feel more wiped out than before? Does the phrase “a little R&R” sound like an unattainable dream, something you’ll “get around to” one of these days? What do you do when you need to “just be” for a while? The rigmarole of our daily lives takes a toll in energy, time, and effort. And the space and rest we need to recuperate ... physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually ... is usually pushed to the back burner.
Terry understands that slowing down is difficult when you live in a fast-forward world. However, he also knows from personal experience that there is always a price to pay if we don’t
regularly take time
simply to pause ...
to cease activity, to treasure quiet time, and to discern the deep meaning of life’s little moments ... to create and allow time for sanctuary,
a place and space that allows us to
reflect, rejuvenate, and restore and facilitate grace in our life.
In
The Power of Pause
,
Hershey will use powerful stories and meditations, inspiring quotes, and a specific call to action to help us understand the profound value of slowing down in our daily lives and taking time for the truly important things. Throughout our one-day workshop, we will
learn how to take back the life God always intended for us to have by letting go of the things that keep getting in our way.
RETREAT FEE:
$25 per person, includes retreat and lunch.
Space is limited to 150 participants. Register and purchase tickets by

You can also register directly in our Parish Office during business hours (Monday thru Saturday, from 9 am to 5 pm). Please call
