Rooted in Franciscan spirituality, this retreat invites directors, faith formation coordinators, and catechists to renew their ministry as a living reflection of Christ’s love. Inspired by the image of the Mirror of the Cross, participants will pause to pray and reflect on how their daily service echoes Jesus’ humility, compassion, and self‑giving presence. Following the example of St. Francis, ministers are invited to embrace their vocation as a path of ongoing conversion—forming others while being continually shaped by the Gospel they share.
Participants will explore:
- Serving with humility, joy, and tenderness through Franciscan spirituality
- Living as a Mirror of the Cross in daily ministry
- Practices that sustain servant‑leaders: prayer, simplicity, gratitude, and fraternity
Registration will close at 3:00 p.m. the day before the event; walk-ins are welcome.
