The day that is just coming to an end was very long for all of us. For the retreat participants it was also the day of travel. Only few of them arrived yesterday, most of them had to get up very early to make it on time.
Our Team is busy running the Program, but we also take every opportunity to spend together each moment in between to go through all the subsequent activities, share our experience and impressions, and divide tasks.
At the closing of the day we took part in a quiet and long adoration of the Holy Sacrament in the Christ the King Chapel, which we had just for us. The Sacrament of Penance and Reconcilliation was available for those who needed it, too.
We can feel the support of your prayers coming from so many different places in the world. We all know that the time of the retreat can be very difficult but at the same time – blessed and beneficial.
From Belleville,
Fr Jay
Audrey&Brad, Patrick&Daniele, and one Father from Poland
