THE BIG MIDDLE explores the nudges, limits and, at times, bewildering feelings of what we call “midlife” and makes a case for this being a time of invitation and discovery. Borrowing from the richest of Catholic mystics and present-day spiritual writers, THE BIG MIDDLE guides the participant through the questions of this time in ones life and explores how to establish a sustainable practice of a personal connection with God. Individuals in their 40s, 50s and 60s will find the retreat valuable but the content is also applicable to spiritual seekers both younger and older. Artie Pingolt will share his own midlife story, influenced by his own diverse background, as a husband and father, investment banker, missionary and student of Ignatian spirituality.

The year 2025 is proclaimed a Jubilee Year by Pope Francis, the chief shepherd of the flock. This Holy Year is a time of special grace for the church. Following the lead of our shepherd, the theme of our retreats is the same as the theme for this Holy Year, when we are called to be Pilgrims of Hope.
For many, when they hear the word Hope they think of a fond wish. When Christians hear the word Hope we think of a firm promise. As St. Paul proclaims in his letter to the Romans, Hope does not disappoint. Our hope is in the person of Jesus Christ who has laid down his life and conquered sin and death. This hope is poured into our hearts through the gift of the Holy Spirit.
We invite you to come to Christ the King during this time of grace to affirm your belief in the hope that can make sense of a hopeless world.

Autumn Triduum: Snapshots of Sanctity and Habits of Holiness – Presented by Fr. Joseph Nassal

This weekend we celebrate All Hallows Eve, All Saints, and All Souls, and remember how it is God who makes us worthy to be saints by calling us children of God. When we take off our masks and deepen our desire to live as children of God, we find that sanctity is not for a chosen few but for all.
We invite you to bring pictures of those in your life whose holiness inspired your journey of faith. When we look through the photo album of faith, family, and community, we see many snapshots of sanctity. We often call those no longer with us “saints”. Looking closely at these pictures of priestly people, we see how they are all dressed in the garment of grace; their habit is holiness. Tracing the threads of these habits of holiness, we see woven into the fabric of their lives the qualities described in the Beatitudes (Matthew 5, 1-12).

A pilgrimage is a spiritual journey. Retreatants will reflect on their pilgrimage through several doors. First, they will enter the door of looking within to see the hope for a new life. Secondly, stepping over the threshold and traveling with a Higher Power as a guide in recovery. Third, examining how to walk through transformation with self and others in hope rather than fear. Lastly, entering the door of exploration & hopes of our relationship with self, others and the God of our awareness. This weekend will focus on welcoming ALL: the unexpected, the challenges, and the blessings of a hopeful pilgrimage in recovery.

Hope is not a fingers-crossed wish upon a Bethlehem star that nothing bad happens or something good happens. The virtue of hope is something beautifully different. With the virtues of faith and love, hope is in the mystery of the Cross of Jesus Christ. With hope, there is a joy that grows and perseveres no matter our past circumstances, present challenges or future fears. These days, it is most helpful to be more hope full.
