The Priests, Deacons, and Seminarians Retreat is just a few short months away, but—as incredible as these days can be—we did not plan them to be a stand-alone event. Rather, the conference is an opportunity for you to grow closer to the Lord before (by preparing your heart); during; and after as the conference impacts your daily life.
During this Easter season, take the opportunity to deepen your prayer life and ask the Lord how He wants to strengthen your ministry. Challenge yourself to spend at least as much time in conversation with God as you do on social media…or whatever your “go-to” is when you have a few extra minutes.
To get you started, check out Retreat speaker Deacon Ralph Poyo’s suggestions on forming disciples, rather than just volunteers. He reminds us that living a life in the spirit is the essential foundation of any thriving parish or ministry.
