Keynote by Fr. Neil Walters

This is the 19th annual retreat at JRC for LGBT Christians, their families and friends. Luke 24: 13-35 tells us that two of Jesus' disciples met Him on the road to the village of Emmaus. The encounter renewed their hopes and sense of mission. Gay and lesbian Catholics continue to meet Jesus as they journey to the Kingdom. The Emmaus retreat is a time to encounter Christ and to share the journey together. Mass will be celebrated on Saturday by Fr. Doug Koesel.

Rev. Walters currently serves as the Chaplain at the Cuyahoga County Jail and presently is in residence at St. Malachi Parish in Cleveland, Ohio. He was Parochial Vicar over the years at St. Felicitas, St. Clarence, St. John Neumann in Cleveland, St. Sebastian in Akron, and St. Mary of the Immaculate Conception in Wooster.

Presented by Fr. Matt Linn, SJ

Do you find that the deep meaning and peace of Advent gets overshadowed by frantic shopping, missing loved ones no longer with us, and sending cards reminding us of strained relationships? This retreat offers an opportunity to prepare our hearts by reflecting on the joyful mysteries: The Annunciation - finding the love that is deeper than our fears. The Visitation - uncovering and healing our longing for life-giving relationships that affirm us. The Nativity - creating a new home within. The Presentation - empowering us to transcend our guilt so we can give ourselves whole-heartedly to Jesus. The Finding in the Temple - exploring our unique call to serve.

The program will conclude with a healing Mass.

Fr. Matt Linn, SJ is a prolific author, retreat leader and spiritual director based in Minnesota. In conjunction with Dennis and Sheila Linn, he has authored more than 20 books and focuses his ministry on integrating physical, emotional and spiritual healing.
