Bishop Terry Steib, S.V.D. |
Memphis, Tenn., Bishop Terry Steib, S.V.D., will present the Denver Archdiocese’s annual Black Catholic Retreat March 15-17.
The bishop will lead faithful on the silent weekend retreat surrounding a Year of Faith theme at the Sacred Heart Retreat House in Sedalia.
“He’s allowing us to see how the Year of Faith can affect our lives,” said Mary Leisring, director of the Office of Black Catholic Ministry, about the retreat theme. “This would be a unique opportunity for people to come and listen and be open to the Holy Spirit and learn how they can incorporate the Year of Faith into their lives.”
Retreatants will hear four talks by the bishop including “Kitchen Service and Living Room Intimacy,” “Being Alive to God,” “Be Not Afraid” and “Why Are You So Slow to Believe?”
In between the talks, the retreatants will have the chance to receive the sacrament of reconciliation, attend Mass and pray.
