Fatima Parish Retreat in August

Monday 26 - Thursday 28 August 2013

About 20 parishioners attended the  retreat conducted by Fr. Robert Daniel and Fr. Nelson Chitty. Participants attended the nightly sessions from 8.00 - 9.30 pm, allowing time for quiet meditation after a short talk each night on a specific word. On the first night, it was on 'Abundance'.
Meditating in silence on the word before going to bed, without communicating with others...This was repeated throughout the retreat. For many, it was a first time we were experiencing such a retreat, and for me, it was a refreshing change to the hectic lifestyle we are living. The retreat was a relaxing time, taking time to experience God in His Abundance.  Thank you Fr. Robert and Fr. Nelson for sharing your experience with us.
