PatrickCollins, Ph.D., has directed four weekend retreats and a one-day program at our retreat center since 2000; two weekends are planned for this year and two for next year.
Patrick presided at all the weekend liturgies where he gave a brief overview of the coming sessions and set the tone for the next couple of days.
Collins used poetry and music along with his skillful preaching, to lead the people into a deeper awareness and understanding of what we do during the celebration of the Eucharist is who we are to be in our every day lives.
