Saying "No" to Give a Deeper "Yes":
A Live Virtual Retreat
July 19 - 6:30-9:30 pm
Presented by Fr. Michael Rossmann, SJ, Fr. Michael Sparough,
SJ and Bellarmine Jesuit Retreat House
Life is full of choices. And when we say “Yes” to many things, even good
things, that’s not a good thing. We invite you to spend an evening with two
Father Michaels, both of whom struggle with this issue in their lives. They’ll
share what they’re learning from their mistakes, and how the Holy Spirit is
guiding us all toward greater balance in our lives. The evening consists of
reflections, guided prayer, and optional small group sharing. Register
at www.jesuitretreat.org.
