The Maronite
Servants of Christ the Light traveled to Southern California to facilitate a
women’s retreat for Saint John Maron parish in Orange County. A parishioner
opened her home in Lake Arrowhead for the venue which offered a beautiful
setting for retreat. We began with 20
women on Friday evening August 24th and concluded Sunday morning
with Divine Liturgy back at the parish church.
Below are
reflections from two of the retreatants:
”The Woman's
Retreat was such a success in so many ways . Everyone of the woman have not
stopped talking about how each of them were ministered to in such a beautiful
way with much love and kindness. The
combination of the Teachings and the Holiness of our Maronite Prayers, Songs
and Tradition made it perfect for all the woman. It would
not of been the same if we had arranged to have the retreat with someone else. Thank
you for giving of yourselves completely this weekend and all of us are looking
forward to you coming back in 2013.” Regina
