4-week mini-sabbatical for Catholic priests


"Stoking the Fire" is a four-week mini-sabbatical for Catholic priests. If you are a priest between parishes, this may be the perfect time to refresh your spirit and refocus your priorities. Consider taking just four weeks to relax and recharge your spiritual life. The "Stoking the Fire" mini-sabbatical offers a quiet place and a focused program to prepare you for the next challenges of ministry. Join fellow priests in this unique sabbatical experience.
