Check out the Oblates of the Virgin Mary website for the free virtual workshop Overcoming Spiritual Discouragement.
With warmth, understanding, and pastoral skill, Fr. Timothy Gallagher, O.M.V. provides a hopeful invitation to all who struggle to overcome the greatest obstacle in the spiritual life: discouragement.
You will learn practical ways to find peace amid your spiritual struggles, and patience in the face of even the most intense trials.
In these talks, Fr. Gallagher will explore the spiritual teaching of Venerable Bruno Lanteri, founder of the Oblates of the Virgin Mary, whose wisdom guided many out of discouragement and into new hope.
There is no shame in spiritual desolation. Fr. Gallagher reminds us that the greatest of saints suffered from this affliction. The key is to learn how to draw closer to God in life’s darkest moments.
Overcoming Spiritual Discouragement is a call to hope . . . a call to solace in time of suffering . . . and a call to stand tall in times of affliction. Learn how to enter into the sublime peace and joy that our Lord promises.
The day-long seminar will include Holy Mass, three conferences, materials, coffee, light breakfast items and lunch.
Pre-registration is required, and the cost is $25 per person. Please print the Printable Registration Form below, and return it to the parish office.
