ONE IN CHRIST - The Courage to Belong

Click here to register

This Advent, join your St. George’s parish family for a morning of reflection, prayer and fellowship on Saturday, December 12, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., following the 9:00 a.m. Mass, at St. George’s. Coffee and light refreshments will be served.

While we bring different experiences, traditions and ways of praying to our parish, we share one faith in Christ. How can the richness of Catholic worship draw us closer to God, and to one another?

Our retreat, One in Christ: The Courage to Belong, will explore two complementary questions with Fr. Roman Rytsar and Dr. Brian Butcher:

1. What makes us one in Christ?
Discover how our shared faith, sacramental life and communion with the Church unite us and invite us into deeper relationships with one another.

2. How can different expressions of worship enrich our shared faith?
Reflect on unity without uniformity, the wisdom of tradition, and how unfamiliar forms of prayer and sacred music can deepen our encounter with God.

Whether you are new to St. George’s or have worshipped here for years, we hope you will leave feeling more connected to Christ and to your fellow parishioners.

Parents, we warmly invite you to take part! A parallel children’s program will welcome children of all ages, with supervised play and simple faith-based activities while you enjoy the retreat. Children will join their parents for refreshments during the break.

Please register early to help us plan a welcoming morning for everyone. If you are bringing children, please include their ages when registering so we can prepare for them.

Friends and parishioners from other parishes are, as always, warmly welcome.

We look forward to seeing you on December 12.
