Main Goal
This retreat is for all your ministry members and is meant to be given in an anual basis to renew a sense of community among each other and with God.
Outcomes
Participants come out of the experience fired up with joy in mission and renewed sense of calling
Participants realize they had a re-encounter with our living Lord who is alive and is fully committed to us
Participants embrace the sense of communion with one another in mission for Christ.
Participants begin to see each other not as colleagues, or by their ministry roles, but as disciples of Christ
Format
Participants will re-encounter their calling in Christ through a retreat experience
that follows various movements of the Emmaus journey from Jerusalem to
Jerusalem.
Join the Walk- The retreat will offer dynamic group activities, visuals, and
music that will engage people of all different level of interests
Listen - The retreat, through small group methods, will offer moments and
opportunities for everyone to listen to each other with open hearts and
minds
Share - The retreat will offer sparks of catechetical moments that help
participants contextualize and relate their stories and experiences with
Christ’s teachings, ministry, and mission.
Enter - The retreat will offer moments of silence, reflection, and journaling,
leading participants to slowly open the doors of their hearts and minds to
the experience, to each other, but most importantly to Christ. The retreat
will also offer moments for the Holy Spirit to take action and prepare the
hearts of the participants using dynamic prayer experiences, moments of
worship, the Divine Mercy Chaplet sung, and other prayer moments using
symbolisms and candles.
Christ is Revealed - After a journey of listening, sharing, and entering in prayer,
participants will encounter the living Christ in the celebration of the
Eucharist. They will come to realizing that Christ is alive and among us,
thus, we must run to Jerusalem and announce the Good News with joy.
Christ Affirms- Through a symbolic commissioning ritual, affirm our
Missionary Disciples of Christ for answering the call. This could be done
together with the pastor if possible.
