Priests' Retreats for Website.png

October 9-13, 2023

with Fr. Ben Berinti, CPPS

This preached retreat will be an opportunity for priests in the Diocese of Orlando to spend time in prayer, reflection, and fellowship.

Called to be living chalices

“I will lift up the chalice of salvation and call on the name of the Lord.”

 (Psalm 116:13) 

At every celebration of the Eucharist at which we preside, we take the chalice in our hands, holding, lifting, and offering its contents.  In many ways, the chalice embodies our vocation as priests. 

Through scripture, art, reflection and dialogue, our retreat will invite and challenge participants to imagine ourselves as a “Living Chalice.”  Like the sacred chalice we raise and minister, which holds the Blood of Christ at each Eucharist, we too are Anointed, Open to Receive, and Emptied in Service.

**This retreat is only open to priests in the Diocese of Orlando**

Online Registration has Closed!
