On Monday, July 19, I will begin my annual retreat. We priests always look forward to our retreats. This year I will be making my retreat at Saint Mary of Providence Center in Elverson along with a number of other priests.
I look forward each year to the quiet, prayerful atmosphere of retreat. It is a very peaceful, spiritually uplifting experience. I hope all of you have the opportunity to experience a retreat periodically.
Please know along with my family, my personal intentions, and the intentions of the church, you will be in my prayers during retreat. I ask that you pray for me and all the priests I will be on retreat with during the week.
