Retreats - T.R.U.E. Presence

Our Lady of the Lake Catholic Church
T.R.U.E. PRESENCE MEN'S RETREAT
TBD
Lake Arthur Campgrounds

"Very truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you." (John 6:53)
What is a T.R.U.E. Presence Retreat?

The T.R.U.E. Presence Retreat is a 3-day, 3-night Catholic lay retreat presented by fellow parishioners and men of the diocese like yourself.  Much of the weekend will be spent with lay team members who have faced the same difficulties as you are living in today's world.  The weekend is filled with the Sacraments, talks, reflection time, singing, praising, and sharing the blessings of our Lord.
The T.R.U.E. Presence Retreat weekend emphasizes even more strongly than other "active" retreats that the central, dominant, truth of the Eucharist is the core of our Catholic Faith.

What does T.R.U.E. stand for?
TRUTH! "I am the way, the truth, and the life, no one comes to the father except through me." John 14:6
RENEWAL! "...if indeed you have heard him and have been taught in him, just as truth is in Jesus, that, in reference to your former manner of life, you lay aside the old self, which is being corrupted in accordance with the lusts of deceit, and that you be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and put on the new self, which in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of truth." Ephesians 4:21-24
UNITY!  "There is one body and one Spirit, just as also you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all." Ephesians 4:5-6
EVANGELIZATION!  "For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost." Luke 19:10

And, of course, it is all about the TRUE Presence of Jesus Christ - alive and with us today - body, blood, soul, and divinity - in the Blessed Sacrament.
