TRANSCRIPT
The Lazy Days of Summer Now that summer is upon us, we at the retreat center take time to
reflect on our past fiscal year. We make our plans to become better
stewards of your retreat center and to learn ways that we can help
you strengthen your relationship with God.
Don’t get me wrong, we are still very busy! Your Parish Priests are
coming on retreat to strengthen their relationship with God, to meet
with their diocesan priest brothers and draw strength and inspiration
from one another.
In our reflections, we wonder about you. Is your time spent with
family and friends at picnics and parks? Are you well physically,
mentally, and spiritually?
We reflect on the blessing you have been to us! For all of you who
have come to retreat with us, volunteer, donate and join us for our
events, we thank God for you! You make it possible to fulfill our
mission. Our Center provides a setting to serve those searching for
God: people of Catholic and other Christian faiths, participants of
programs of the Diocese of Venice and people who are searching for
spiritual help and growth. It provides a place of peace and beauty,
where one can develop a closer relationship with God.
Please accept our thanks from the bottom of our hearts! We are here
at the retreat center and
we welcome your return!
God Bless your giving spirit!

Rays of Sunshine
As we look at the beauty that surrounds us, the heat and the rains have made the foliage
and flowers lush. The seasonal crops yield sweet and ripe fruits. The days are longer.
There are more hours of glorious sunshine. We have air conditioning and pools that offer
relief from the heat, and more time to enjoy them. Many schools are not in session –
providing students with opportunity for vacations, or summer jobs.
We find that we have a great deal to appreciate.
And, just as we appreciate the rays of sunshine that define our summers , we appreciate
the many rays of sunshine that are our volunteers. They truly help to grow the seeds of
God’s Word, even as the sun does. We are indebted to them, and could not exist without
them. They are truly as essential as the sun itself – and invaluable in the spreading of light
and warmth!

Matt Talbot Men's Spiritual Retreat
September 14, 3:00 PM - September 16, 12:00 PM
A Matt Talbot retreat is for people of all faiths and is an opportunity for recovering alcoholics to enhance their spirituality and sober way of life. The people who attend these retreats are all recovering alcoholics and attend the 12-step program through AA. It is a fellowship with a common bond in our Lord where you can share and receive help and support spiritually and to receive strength from each other and from God. A Retreat Leader, who is usually a recovering alcoholic and trained in spiritual matters, gives conferences on various topics several times during the weekend, bringing valuable insights into the spiritual element of the disease of alcoholism. THE MATT TALBOT RETREAT IS PRIVATE AND EVERYTHING IS CONFIDENTIAL

interested in an
Ignatian Retreat! Jesus’ deepest desire for each of us is to experience life to the fullest & a joy that is complete. But how many of us actually believe that for ourselves? This retreat is an invitation from Jesus to reflect on what’s holding me back from experiencing ever more the power & promise of the resurrection. Register your interest at
www.olph-retreat.org

11th Step Retreat for Women in Recovery
October 26 - October 28, 10:00 AM “Abandoning ourselves to God”: What
does that look like? Turning our wills and our
lives over to the care of God or abandoning
ourselves to God can seem like a tall order.
What that might look like daily, will be the
subject of this retreat weekend. We will start
from the premise that God wants only our
good! There will be talks, discussion, time for reflection and
rest. Register: HERE or call 941-486-0233.
