Holy Family Retreats-

God is not found exclusively in retreats. However, retreats help to restore our ability to better recognize God in our everyday lives. Retreats are temporary. When a retreat is completed, we are to make an about-face and head right back into our busy lives, carrying with us the grace we need to rise up to the challenges of everyday life.

Saturday, May 19, 2012 -- "The Spiritual Journey: Reflections on the WIZARD Of OZ" Retreat

Wizard of Oz, written by L. Frank Baum in 1900 in Chicago, IL, and brought to Technicolor by MGM in 1939, is a classic story of the spiritual journey.

The lessons from OZ are as real and important today as they were then.

Our reflections will examine the spiritual journey through life to an experience beyond the rain, beyond the clouds… Somewhere over the Rainbow!
