Koinonia Retreat

St. Thomas Aquinas (Newman Center)

“The community of believers were of one heart and mind.” –Acts 4:32

 

 

 

“Koinonia” is the Greek word for “community” which was so much in evidence in the faith of the early Church.  The Koinonia retreat weekend is an introductory experience in Christian community based on the Paschal Mystery of the Lord Jesus-- His Passion, Death, Resurrection, and Ascension.  Themes for these three days include: Lent, Easter, and Pentecost.

 

The retreat consists of talks, discussions, reflections, prayer, and celebration of the Sacraments of Penance and Eucharist, which require active participation.  Though the retreat is offered from a Catholic perspective, those who are not Catholic are welcome to attend.  Please plan to bring a sleeping bag, pillow, towel toiletries (showers are available), and a rosary

 

Koinonia is offered two times a year and runs from Friday evening to Sunday evening.  Plan to arrive at the Newman Center, 320 N. 16th St., at 4:00 p.m. on Friday and return by 6:00 p.m. on Sunday.  Reservations are limited to 30 people.  Total cost for the weekend is $50.00 per person (assistance may be available).  Please make checks payable to the Newman Center, and return the application portion of this sheet to the following address at least one week before the retreat:  St. Thomas Aquinas Newman Center, c/o Sister Mary Michael, C.K., 320 N. 16th St., Lincoln, NE 68508.  Phone: (402) 474-7914.

 

Please detach and return bottom portion only.
