American Association Retreat: Winter 2025
The American Association is holding its next Spiritual Retreat from Friday, February 21 through Sunday February 23, 2025, at the Bethany Retreat Center in Lutz, Florida. Lutz is 25 minutes from Tampa International Airport. Our retreat master, Bishop Frank J. Caggiano, ChC, will be speaking on the theme, “Profiles in Discipleship” basic qualities that a disciple needs to embrace personally to become an agent of renewal in the life of the Church. All members are encouraged to attend; candidates in their year of formation and new members who have not been on an Association’s three-day retreat are particularly encouraged to attend. It is important to recognize that a three-day retreat, such as the Bethany Retreat, is very different from a morning of recollection or a day of reflection. Click here to log in and register. |
