Parish retreat brings together leaders for moments of prayer and reflection.

The Parish Retreat, held this past weekend, brought together approximately 40 people, including leaders and members of groups, movements, and pastoral ministries from the Archdiocesan Sanctuary of Health and Peace.

Father Vinicius Maciel, SSCC, was in charge of the retreat.

The meeting was an opportunity for participants to take a break from their busy lives and reflect on their journey with their fellow parishioners. During the meeting, which was led by the parish priest, Fr. Vinicius Maciel, SSCC, priests who celebrate Mass at the Church of Blessed Father Eustace also led moments of reflection.

Brother Vanildo entertained the participants with lots of good music.

The São Vicente Retreat House, in Igarapé, in the metropolitan region of Belo Horizonte, was the chosen location for the retreat. At the end of the meeting, participants were invited to attend the 5 pm Holy Mass at the Sanctuary in BH as part of the retreat's closing program.
