Cedarbrake Calendar

The first Biblical Institute at Cedarbrake Catholic Retreat Center will be Jan. 4-6, 2019 with Franciscan Father Bill Burton presenting the Gospel of John. The Gospel of John is quite unique among the four Gospels. Why is this Gospel so different and what do these differences tell about the early Christian community behind this Gospel? Father Bill is highly educated and able to work with biblical texts in their original languages. Cost is $250 for a private room, $210 per person for a shared room and $125 for commuters.

The Saying Yes retreat will be offered at Cedarbrake Catholic Retreat Center Jan. 26 from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. The retreat is based on the book, Saying Yes, by Sally Robb and Kristin Armstrong. Saying our yes to God as Mary did so long ago can fill us with God’s joy and lead to our own transformation. Our presenter and co-author, Sally Robb, will use her own life experiences to show us how to say a deeper yes to our Lord. Cost is $40 and includes lunch.

Cedarbrake Catholic Retreat Center will offer a continuing education workshop/retreat for spiritual directors. Our chaplain, Franciscan Father Albert Haase and Beverly Collin will be the presenters. The topics will be Practical Holiness according to Pope Francis and Exploring our Dreams in Spiritual Direction. The cost is $235 room , $185 per person for a shared room and $100 for commuter rate.

A Healing Pilgrimage Retreat on the Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes will be held at Cedarbrake Catholic Retreat Center on February 11, 2019 from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. This retreat will have talks on the great love of Mary, the message of Lourdes and include praying the rosary and mass with sacrament of anointing of the sick.

The Practical Holiness – Pope Francis as Spiritual Companion retreat will be offered at Cedarbrake Catholic Retreat Center Feb. 20. Franciscan Father Fr. Albert Haase, chaplain of Cedarbrake, will present this day based on his latest book. With anecdotes about people and stories about saints, you’ll discover there is no cookie-cutter approach to holiness as we take a look at the “five great expressions of love of God and neighbor” that Pope Francis believes are essential for any Christian in our self-absorbed, digital culture. The cost is $40 and includes lunch.
