The first part of this past week was spent at Kirirom National Park where the four of us members of Maryknoll Lay Missioners gathered for an annual retreat.
Each morning of the retreat was filled with discussion of ideas about community based on Pope Francis’s encyclical Fratelli Tutti. There were not many people present at the center so we used a convenient table located near the restaurant.
After our morning discussion, we had an activity to help us express and integrate what we had been talking about.
Kylene and Julie returning to the residence building where we had our rooms.
The meals were quite good and we had many settings to choose from as places to eat.
The final evening we had a simple celebration of the eucharist on the porch outside our rooms.
