Hello all,

I sit on the Council for my parish, and another parishoner and I are planning a retreat for the members of the Council. We have some time in our schedule for some sort of exercises, with a goal of getting to know each other (especially with the new members) and setting our “spiritual compass” for the upcoming year. As an example, during last year’s retreat, we all drew a picture of a tree that allowed each of us to explain what roots us in our faith and how are faith branches out within us. We then went around the room and discussed our pictures.

I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions or places to look to get ideas for the exercise time. Any and all ideas are welcome!

Thank you,
Jeff Ferguson
 
Jeff,
How about a brief “bio” form that all can fill out and then discuss in a circle? It could include if they are cradle, convert, re-vert or adult entry into the faith, devotions thay have, various faith experiences, other parishes attended, etc. Might also include their goal for the year. Just a thought.

Christ’s peace.
