Pentecost Retreat in the Holy Spirit:
About 130 people plus 15 organisers gathered on the eve of Pentecost Sunday, to spend a day with the Holy Spirit. Numbers alone tell us the Spirit was moving. People were enthralled: Deacon Malcolm and Adi Hendarto and the other 13 musicians and organisers were not wasting their time. I spent the morning in the retreat which was for me a period of quiet and contemplation. I spent the afternoon tied up seeking ways to get a magpie out of St Greg’s church – parish life is never dull- Fr Charles.
Testimonial:
Attending the all-day Pentecost retreat at St. Gregs was a first for me and a profoundly transformative experience. Spending dedicated time together away from the noise of everyday life to learn and pray really helps to welcome in and further develop a relationship with the Holy Spirit.
I gained a further understanding of the beauty and richness of Christianity. More than just an educational day, it was a deeply spiritual encounter; I walked away feeling an intense, renewed closeness to the Holy Trinity.
