THE GIFT YOU ARE: To God, to Self, to Others
 
Silent Theme Retreat
 
We live in a world of material abundance, a world in which most of us find it easy to present loved ones with beautiful and thoughtful gifts. But do we find it as easy to share – or even to recognize – the gift of our very selves?
 
The gift you are is the most precious gift of all, but it is sometimes the most difficult gift to find. Begin or continue your search for this gift by joining us on this weekend retreat. Retreat sessions will help you explore the gift you are from both Biblical and Mindfulness perspectives. Meanwhile, the time, space and silence of this retreat will help you apply what you have learned in the sessions, contemplating and reconnecting with the gift you are – to yourself, to others and to the God who made you!
 
The retreat begins at 5 p.m. on Friday, followed by supper at 6:30. The retreat concludes after Mass and the noon meal on Sunday.
 
This 3-day retreat will be presented by Lee Ann Niebuhr, Rita Simon and Elizabeth Schussler. This retreat is open to all, but space is limited to 40 participants. Please register early!
 
Cost for the retreat: $190 per person.

The Life and Prayer of St. Alphonsus Liguori.
St. Alphonsus Liguori has been called the Church’s “Most Zealous Doctor” as well as “The Teacher of Prayer.”

Upon being ordained a priest, he spent most of his time ministering to the poor, especially the homeless and marginalized. In 1732, he founded the Redemptorists. Redemption will be a key theme of this retreat, as we will practice a Liguorian style of prayer and meditation centered on the redeeming love of Jesus Christ, as seen not only in his passion and death but also in the 13th chapter of St. Paul’s First Letter to the Corinthians.

The presenter is Father Robert Streveler, a senior priest of the Diocese of La Crosse and is in residence at St. Anthony’s. He grew up in Halder, where he attended St. Patrick Parish. He fondly remembers praying St. Alphonsus Liguori’s “The Way of the Cross” several times a week during the Lenten season. Father Streveler remains impressed by Ligouri’s prudent moral theology, his practical response to the everyday questions and concerns of the faithful, and his abundant writer works on spirituality and theology.

Registration begins at 5 p.m. on Friday, followed by supper at 6:30 p.m. The retreat concludes after Mass and the noon meal on Sunday.

Cost of the retreat: $190.

This workshop/retreat will help participants learn to respond with true compassion through brief teachings, exercises, meditation and discussion. We will clarify the distinction between empathy and compassion; identify the signs of “compassion fatigue” and the reasons why this term is a misnomer; discover the importance of self-compassion; and learn to cultivate compassion actively. This session is designed for professional caregivers at all levels, but family and friend caregivers are also welcome.

Susan Mickel, M.D., Ph.D, presented, has been interested in the mind for as long as she can remember. She completed medical school at Emory University and worked as a behavior neurologist for 22 years at a large, nonprofit multispecialty clinic in central Wisconsin. In 2004, she returned to school for a Ph.D in clinical psychology and became a licensed psychologist in 2013. Her graduate-level studies and her work in medicine and psychology combine with her undergraduate studies in comparative religion as well as her practice and continuing studies of meditation to provide her with a solid foundation for understanding – and responding appropriately to – both the neurological and the spiritual aspects of compassion fatigue.

Cost of the retreat is $190.
