DISCOVERING WHO GOD HAS CALLED YOU TO BE
A workshop presented by Kay Davis
Friday, October 18th & Saturday, October 19th
This workshop will help you to discover God’s extraordinary gift: your Personal Vocation. Based on the teaching of Fr. Herbie Alphonso, SJ, we will discuss the theology behind the “name” by which God calls you, how to discover that name, how it can change your life, and how it can help you to know not only what God has called you to be, but also what he has called you to do!
This workshop will take place over 2 days.
Friday from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Registration is required, cost is $60. If you have any questions call (303) 298-1498 or register here.
***Attendance is online as well as a limited number of in-person spots. In person classes will be held at the Lanteri Center 416 22nd St. Denver, CO 80205. Spots will be reserved at time of payment only! ***

Morning Star, a program for young adults
This Fall the Lanteri Center will launch a new program of formation and community for young adults. Meeting every other week, our program will have three aims: 1) Discovering and living the Truth; 2) Fostering true Freedom and Joy; and 3) Building a Culture of Virtue, especially the virtues of Faith, Hope and Love.
We will cover topics both spiritual and secular, from how to build a prayer life to how to make a good budget, and financial decisions; from discovering the purpose of my life, to building a strong neighborhood community.
Please spread the word to the young adults in your life.
Directed Silent Retreats
Directed silent retreats are a wonderful experience for people in every stage of the spiritual life. If it is your first time, you can learn the value of silence in prayer and life in general. If you have made retreats before, come for deeper growth and personal restoration. These retreats include a daily meeting with a spiritual director to discuss your prayer and experience in a beautiful retreat setting near Denver. Come away for five days of spiritual renewal – in whatever time you have to be still and know God.
