...how has it been organised? ...and has it worked?
a few years ago there used to be a day of recollection during Lent organised by our priest, but this was not well advertised and he tended to tell people he thought would be interested which resulted in a dwindling attendance of increasingly elderly people. I did go one year, was the youngest by about 30 years, and the cliquiness of it would make me reluctant to go again. Other people feel similarly.
But we would still like to have some kind of parish retreat - hopefully more inclusive of different age groups - However we need a clearer idea of what we want and how it could be organised before approaching our priest. Our (catolic) parish is tiny, so we are never going more than a small group of people, so we can't be too ambitious. Do you have any suggestions that have worked in your parish?
Thanks...
