We will reflect on the story of the Eucharist as it develops in the meals experienced by Jesus and narrated in the Gospel of Luke, culminating in the breaking of the bread at Emmaus. We will sit at table with Jesus the Prophet, Jesus the Christ, and Jesus the Lord, as we explore both the comfort and the challenge that these Gospel accounts offer us. Coffee and check-in begins at 8:45 a.m. The day includes Mass and lunch.

Presented by Sister Clare D’Auria OSF

The retreat day is $60. You may opt to stay overnight the evening of Tuesday, November 12 for an additional $95.
