DISCIPLESHIP AS A WAY OF LIFE
Sun., June 8, 5:30pm - Sat., June 14, 1:00pm
ANTHONY GITTINS C.S.Sp.
• Professor of Theological Anthropology, CTU, Chicago
• Presently “Bishop Ford Professor of Mission Theology
• Has taught, given retreats/workshops in more than 30 countries
Discipleship’ identifies everyone who is called and sent by Jesus. We will explore some of the components of discipleship, and look at some profiles of disciples in the New Testament. The rabbis of Jesus’ time had disciples, but Jesus was different from the rabbis and his disciples were called to be different from those who followed the conventional tradition. Not only is every baptized and confirmed Christian called to discipleship, but we are called to discipleship as a way of life: the Way of Jesus. And yet, not everyone who is called responds, and not everyone who responds remains faithful. We consider the importance of ongoing conversion as a way to discipleship and a way to life.
Offering: $360 ($75 deposit) Early Bird Discount Rate: $340, if registered by May 8.
A $75 deposit secures your reservation and is credited to the offering for the retreat.

LIKE THE AIR WE BREATHE:
AN APPROACH TO THE SPIRITUAL LIFE
Director: Albert Haase, O.F.M.
Sunday, June 15, 5:30pm - Friday, June 20, 4:00pm
This is a retreat based upon a single insight: we already have what we are seeking in the spiritual life. We simply need to become aware of it. Influenced by the writings of spiritual masters down through the centuries, the retreat takes a "second look" at some key themes in the spiritual life: the True Self, the False Self, growth towards freedom, prayer, discernment and the spiritual journey.
Each participant will receive a Participant's Guide that contains outlines of the sessions, personal reflection questions, and a list of recommended readings for continuing education after the retreat.
Offering: $300
Offering: $330 Early Bird Discount Rate: $310 - if registered by May 29.
A $40 deposit secures your reservation and is credited to the offering for the retreat.
