SUMMARY:Christian Yoga Weekend Retreat for Men and Women
DESCRIPTION:Gift and Gratitude: Finding God in All Things \nGod asks us to be still so that we can be with Him\, open to His love. A powerful way to find stillness and inner peace is through Christian Yoga\, a form of meditative body prayer that invites us to be present in the moment with God. As we focus on our breath and move through postures\, we find balance and healing uniting our breath\, body\, and spirit with Christ.   \nThis retreat invites you to step out of your noisy world and spend time in silence with yourself and God. Through Christian Yoga sessions\, guided meditations and time for prayer and quiet reflection\, you are giving yourself a gift. \nThis retreat is open to all.  No prior experience is required. Capacity is limited…register early! \nPatron: Fr. John LaFarge\, SJ | Retreat Theme: Gift and Gratitude: Finding God in All Things | Retreat Format: Silent | Retreat Directors: Dr. Mary Gresens\, DLS\, and Fr. Robert Scullin\, SJ | Note: No dinner on Friday; ends after lunch on Sunday \nFor more information\, call the front office at 248.644.4933\, Ext. 0.

SUMMARY:Scripture Study: The Gospel of John
DESCRIPTION:Sept. 8\, 22 | Oct. 6\, 20 | Nov. 3\, 17\, 2026 \nJohn’s gospel presents us with a portrait of Jesus that is at once engaging and profound. By identifying Jesus as the light of the world and good shepherd\, the Gospel gives us accessible ways to begin thinking about who Jesus is\, while inviting us to go deeper in what it means to be in a relationship of trust with God through Christ. The most theological of the four Gospels\, John includes only seven miracles to demonstrate the divinity of Christ and to illustrate His ministry\, and he shares much about the approaching ministry of the Holy Spirit after Jesus’ ascension. Please join us as we unpack this unique gospel that provides a clear revelation of who Jesus is. \nInstructor: Fr. Steve Hurd\, SJ is Co-director of the Internship in Spiritual Companionship and a popular retreat director at Manresa. \nThis course is offered onsite (space limited to 16) or via Zoom. *Instructions for Zoom meetings will be emailed to registered participants prior to each session.

SUMMARY:Book Discussion  Insane for the Light: A Spirituality for Our Wisdom Years
DESCRIPTION:Sept. 14\, 28 | Oct. 12\, 26 | Nov. 9\, 2026 \nEach phase of life presents us with its own unique opportunity to connect with God and to bless those around us—even and perhaps especially in those later decades when careers\, raising kids and mortgage payments are behind us. \nIn his newest book Insane for the Light\, author Ronald Rolheiser takes us on a spiritual journey through life’s final years and the mellowing of our souls. In these years\, bitterness can give way to forgiveness\, mere imagination to profound and subtle faith\, wishful optimism to virtuous hope\, and control to surrender. Rolheiser draws on the works of John of the Cross and Henri Nouwen and describes a spirituality capable of giving one’s death away – and by that a spirituality of truly living. \nFacilitator: Rosemary Insley is a retired chaplain and bereavement counselor with Master’s degrees in Pastoral Studies and Social Work. As a spiritual companion\, she guides others in the Spiritual Exercises and in retreats. \nPlease read the Preface and Chapter 1 of Part One for the first session. Please reflect and journal if possible on what Seasons 1 and 2 have been like for you. What do you anticipate about Season 3? \n*Zoom instructions will be emailed to registered participants prior to each session. Please sign on by 6:20 PM to resolve any technical issues.

SUMMARY:Scripture Study: The Gospel of John
DESCRIPTION:Sept. 8\, 22 | Oct. 6\, 20 | Nov. 3\, 17\, 2026 \nJohn’s gospel presents us with a portrait of Jesus that is at once engaging and profound. By identifying Jesus as the light of the world and good shepherd\, the Gospel gives us accessible ways to begin thinking about who Jesus is\, while inviting us to go deeper in what it means to be in a relationship of trust with God through Christ. The most theological of the four Gospels\, John includes only seven miracles to demonstrate the divinity of Christ and to illustrate His ministry\, and he shares much about the approaching ministry of the Holy Spirit after Jesus’ ascension. Please join us as we unpack this unique gospel that provides a clear revelation of who Jesus is. \nInstructor: Fr. Steve Hurd\, SJ is Co-director of the Internship in Spiritual Companionship and a popular retreat director at Manresa. \nThis course is offered onsite (space limited to 16) or via Zoom. *Instructions for Zoom meetings will be emailed to registered participants prior to each session.

SUMMARY:Book Discussion  Insane for the Light: A Spirituality for Our Wisdom Years
DESCRIPTION:Sept. 14\, 28 | Oct. 12\, 26 | Nov. 9\, 2026 \nEach phase of life presents us with its own unique opportunity to connect with God and to bless those around us—even and perhaps especially in those later decades when careers\, raising kids and mortgage payments are behind us. \nIn his newest book Insane for the Light\, author Ronald Rolheiser takes us on a spiritual journey through life’s final years and the mellowing of our souls. In these years\, bitterness can give way to forgiveness\, mere imagination to profound and subtle faith\, wishful optimism to virtuous hope\, and control to surrender. Rolheiser draws on the works of John of the Cross and Henri Nouwen and describes a spirituality capable of giving one’s death away – and by that a spirituality of truly living. \nFacilitator: Rosemary Insley is a retired chaplain and bereavement counselor with Master’s degrees in Pastoral Studies and Social Work. As a spiritual companion\, she guides others in the Spiritual Exercises and in retreats. \nPlease read the Preface and Chapter 1 of Part One for the first session. Please reflect and journal if possible on what Seasons 1 and 2 have been like for you. What do you anticipate about Season 3? \n*Zoom instructions will be emailed to registered participants prior to each session. Please sign on by 6:20 PM to resolve any technical issues.
