Saint George's Faculty Retreat

Saint George's College spent Thursday night and Friday on the beach in retreat. We had great weather and great attendance. I got to talk to many people that I had not had the opportunity to get to know.

The theme of the retreat was on hope. We looked at how Jesus brings us hope, some theological aspects of hope in the Scripture, the Catechism and Aparecida (the 2007 Latin American Bishops' document), how we bring hope to our students, and how we have experienced hope in our lives.

My favorite activity of the retreat was morning prayer. We gathered on the beach and listened to the story of the multiplication of the loaves and fishes. Then, we shared some bread and fish in our small groups and talked about the significance of the symbol for us. 

Here are two pictures.
