Joan welcomes everyone on Friday evening.

One of the best things about our annual retreat is the synthesis of structured time, time for singing and playing, and time on your own to use in the way that best serves you.

Everyone gathers.

The space is open, warm, casual, and comfortable.

We welcomed some "first-timers".

This was Fr. Tom McDevitt's first PCM retreat. Most folks report that, once you've tried a PCM retreat, you're hooked!

Our centering alter.

Decorated by those in attendance, everyone brought something personal to contribute to the table that was a symbol of contemplation for them.
