Each day, we face fear and uncertainty - yet united in a community of faith, Christians have risen above that fear for centuries.

Deepen your faith with silent prayer and spiritual direction. Three and five day Silent Directed Retreats are coming to Benet House Retreat Center in July. Will you join us?

In June, we will host two special weekend retreats: the Wisdom Woman retreat for women, and the Believing and Living as God's Beloved Sons Today retreat for men. Spend a weekend at Benet House, focusing on your faith and spiritual growth!

I was home this weekend and went to Mass at Holy Spirit Parish in Dubuque. Fr. Thilenius was giving his homily and it gave me something to ponder.
