October 5 – 9, 2020 ~ Preacher: Fr. Marc Lanoue, Ph.D.
Theme: Gleaning Secularism for Religious Fruit
Fr. Marc Lanoue, Ph. D., will identify some trends that will occur in American religious circles, as Christian values are replaced more widely with secular values. He will offer some helps in recognizing these trends, as well as offer some measures to offset their effects through the New Evangelization, so that a priest can grow more in depth in his awareness of God and in his prayer life. He will use biblical, cinematic, and other resources to try to adapt secular understandings to Christian ones.
This retreat will benefit any priest in parish ministry looking for ideas to implement the New Evangelization. As the demographics in our churches shift, forewarned is forearmed.
