Thomas Merton Retreat-All Saints Episcopal Church in Jacksonville, Fla.

I am really getting excited about the weekend I will be leading on February 11 and 12th at ALL SAINTS EPISCOPAL CHURCH in Jacksonville, Flordia.

They have had 140 members that have been through Cursillo. I have been through Tres Dias several times as a spiritual director. Both are similar. And they made a pilgrimage to Ireland in 2003 with the church. This will be a meeting advertised city wide and the title of the conference is Developing Your Spiritual Life With Special Emphasis on the Life of Trappist Monk Thomas Merton.

Theme:

"Using the life work of Thomas Merton, Trappist monk and poet, we will attempt to understand our own spiritual pilgrimage and to see what key elements of spirituality are needed to bring spiritual growth and renewal to our lives, as well as see how our adventure of faith can touch the vital spiritual heartbeat in other Christians."

If you are near Jacksonville I hope you will plan on attending. For more details check out Merton Retreats.
