Saturday, September 26 from 8:30 AM to 12:00 PM at St. Giles McDonough Hall

The Catholic Community of Oak Park is blessed with so many parishioners who give their time, talent, and hearts to outreach and service in our community. There are others in our churches who are looking for opportunities for involvement. This fall, we invite everyone involved in this work - or looking to engage in this sacred work - to pause, breathe, and be renewed and energized.

Join us for a morning of breakfast, prayer, and reflection led by Fr. Larry Dowling, centered on the call to social justice and the deeper meaning behind our outreach and sacred action in the name of Christ.

Together we'll reflect on how our thinking aligns with what Jesus has asked of us, how our words carry Christ's message into our daily lives, and how we live in love with those we serve, accompany, and work alongside on this shared journey toward justice.

Whether you serve on a ministry team, volunteer occasionally, or simply feel called to act - on your own or alongside others - this gathering is for you. Come be renewed, so you can return to your good work refreshed and re-energized.

We invite you to begin your morning with us at our 8:00 AM Mass at St. Giles before heading across the street for the retreat. Breakfast will be served.
