NRVC holds Advent retreat

NRVC holds Advent retreat

Retreatants find experience uplifting


Father Joseph Nassal, CPPS presented "Rest Stops for the Soul: Transformation for Vocation Ministers," for NRVC members at the beautiful Redemptorist Renewal Center, in Tucson, Arizona.

Retreatant Sister Anne Kappler, RSM reported: “I loved having the setting in the desert in the midst of Advent. I appreciated the Advent themes of hope and longing; recovering our authentic self and knowing our stories—personally and communally. . . . It was an added bonus that Joe had done vocation ministry and understood what the ministry entails!”

Sister Sarah Roy, OSF wrote: “I found the questions Joe put forth to be very thought provoking and significant to vocation ministry. It was a very good mix of Advent reflection, vocation ministry, and community life. I would go again in a heartbeat!”
