| The theme of the annual Knights of Columbus 2012 half day retreat is “The Beauty of Silence”. The featured speaker is St. Ann’s very own parochial vicar, Fr. Orlando. It’s easy to acknowledge that we live in a very fast paced and noisy world. The question is: what are the benefits of ‘silence’ and how can we, as Catholic men, utilize and practice ‘silence’ to grow in our spiritual lives. Discover how to quiet the noise in our world this lent to hear the beauty of God’s word. The retreat starts with 8:00am Mass and a continental breakfast and ends with lunch. In addition to Fr Orlando’s inspirational talk, there will be time to dialog with other men and develop your own personal action plans. The retreat is open to all men of the parish…. feel free to bring a friend. There is no cost – it’s a free will donation only. Questions?
