Annual Retreat with Brother Feeney
For many blessed years now, we have had the privilege of having an annual retreat for deacons of the Archdiocese directed by Brother Paul Feeney,C.F.X, a favorite of the Boston Diaconate Community. This year, we are pleased to announce that Brother Paul will again direct a weekend retreat for deacons at Campion Renewal Center in Weston on the weekend of April 13, 14 and 15, 2012 Deacon Al Shanahan has graciously arranged with Campion Center for accommodations and meals, and has advised us that Brother Paul’s theme for the retreat will be “ The Prayers of Jesus.” This retreat will provide an excellent opportunity to leave the world behind for a few days, to enter into a QUIET atmosphere of prayer and guided reflection with our brother deacons, and to renew once again the fraternity of the Order of Deacons in our Archdiocese.
The registration form is here; it should be completed and mailed to Deacon Al Shanahan at the address shown, together with your check for payment. (We remind you that a deacon’s retreat is the financial obligation of the parish or institution to which he is assigned – Senior Deacons are welcome to register free of charge.) Plan now to fulfill your annual retreat obligation by registering for this event which will certainly be a blessing to you and to those you serve in your ministry. Spaces are limited. Send in your registration today or call Deacon Al Shanahan for more information.
