SUMMARY:Called and Empowered: Discovering and Using Your Spiritual Gifts
DESCRIPTION:The Catechism of the Catholic Church\, CCC 2003 tells us that “Charisms\, or spiritual gifts\, are special abilities given to Christians by the Holy Spirit to be powerful channels of God’s love and redeeming presence in the world. Whether extraordinary or ordinary\, charisms are to be used in charity or service to build up the church.” \nIn this one-day retreat\, participants will learn what the fruits and gifts of the Holy Spirit are and how they differ from spiritual gifts. All Christians have been given one or more spiritual gifts or charisms (e.g.\, hospitality\, encouragement\, or giving). Using a spiritual gifts inventory\, retreatants will be guided in discerning and exercising their spiritual gifts. \n  \nPresenter: MARY SCHULTE is an oblate of Valyermo. She has a B.A. in history\, with a minor in French\, and a J.D. (law degree). She has served as Chairperson of the Ecumenical and Inter-religious Commission for the Diocese of Orange from 1999-2005. She loves proclaiming the word of God and has been a lector in her parish for over 25 years. In addition to her Benedictine spirituality\, she participates in a Christian Life Community (CLC) with fellow legal professionals who completed the 19th Annotation of the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius. She is co-coordinator of the Orange County oblate group\, and one of four oblate mentors for the Orange County area. She loves to write\, and four of her articles have been published in the Abbey Chronicle. She is developing a blog called Ordinary Days with Mary\, to share her photography\, spiritual writings\, musings\, and her passion for baking. \n  \n*If the event is listed as sold out\, please call us at 661-944-2178 for real-time availability and a waiting list.

SUMMARY:Silent Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Do you long for a few days of emotional and spiritual tranquility? Are you looking for a few moments of silence in your life?

If this is what your heart desires\, we invite you to our silent retreat in the small oasis offered by the Benedictine Community of the Abbey of Saint Andrew\, located in Valyermo. \nRemember that this silent retreat is an opportunity to pause along the way\, to take some time to reflect\, meditate\, and internalize profound truths that cannot be clearly contemplated in the midst of noise and everyday life. \n  \nPresenter: Carlos Obando Obl.\, OSB\, was born in Costa Rica and has lived in the United States since 1966.

He has worked with the Hispanic community since 1979 in Los Angeles and Orange Counties\, training leaders and giving retreats for youth\, adults\, and married couples. He currently coordinates the Spiritual Exercises for Aspirants and their Wives through the Office of the Diaconate in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. \n  \n  \n
