Reflection day on spiritual resolutions will take place at Fatima on Jan. 21

We make New Year’s resolutions each year. Do we consider spiritual resolutions as well? How can we re-energize our faith in 2022? Make this the year you breathe new life into your faith.

This day of reflection with Deacon Rick Wagner will focus first on the bigger questions: Am I intentional in my faith life? Do I have a servant’s heart? Do I share my faith with others? What does it mean to have an “active” prayer life?

The retreat will also address goal-setting: What types of things can I do or participate in that will enhance my efforts to grow in my faith and become the best version of myself?

The day will include continental breakfast, three sessions, Mass and lunch.

For registration or more information, contact Jennifer Burger at 317-545-7681 or jburger@archindy.org.
