March 2009: Evangelization Night



On Friday March 27, 2009, we will participate in the Evangelization dinners organized by the Knights of Columbus at St. Helen’s Catholic Church. Our community will have an information table and members will be available to answer questions about our community and Carmelite spirituality. All are welcome to attend.

Also, we would like to thank the members of the Waco Carmelite community for their generous gift of a relic of St. John of the Cross. The relic is pictured above, next to the statue of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel.

March 2009: Silent Retreat

Our annual silent retreat was held on March 20-22, 2009 at Cedarbreak Retreat Center in Belton, TX. Brother Joel Giallanza, CSC led the retreat. He serves as the Vicar of Religious for the Diocese of Austin, TX and as Director of the Institute for Spiritual Direction. The theme for our retreat was the Interior Castle by St. Teresa of Avila. We also welcomed members from the Killeen and Waco, TX communities to the retreat.

The presentation notes can be found here.

We hope to share the presentation videos on this website in the near future. In the meantime, we hope you enjoy a slide show with pictures from the retreat:
