About the Activity
In 2021 the, highly successful, Annual Parish Retreat will be held for the 21st time!
It will take place from Friday 24th September to Sunday 26th September 2021 at the Carmelite Sisters Convent in Sittard – near Maastricht.
The 2021 Retreat will be led by Fr. Peter Morris a Redemptorist Priest from Scotland currently serving a Diocese in London. The theme will be Fratelli Tutti a reference to Fratelli tutti (All brothers) the third encyclical of Pope Francis, focused on fraternity and social friendship.
The content of the program is compiled in consultation with the priest and you will receive full details upon arrival. A short synopsis of what you may expect:
- The weekend begins Friday after lunch and ends on Sunday after lunch. It will contain Friday evening Mass, daily workshops and discussions and free time for reflection and relaxation. The weekend ends with lunch after Holy Eucharist Sunday morning.
Of course your attendance at the group sessions is for you to decide and not mandatory.
The Priests leading the retreat in 2019 and 2020 were:
- 2019: Fr. Dominic O’Toole, Pastor of the Vienna English Speaking Catholic Community, with the topic “Wanted: Friends and Footwashers”;
- 2020: Fr. David K. Tono, a young Priest from Guinea West Africa, under the theme “Who do you say I am” (Matthew 16:15, NIV).
We will be pleased to share more details and the registration form here, in May 2021.
