Dear Ones,
 
The time draws near for our virtual gathering. Our retreat will be led by Vincent Pizzuto, an Episcopal priest and Professor of New Testament and Christian Mysticism in the Dept. of Theology and Religious Studies at the University of San Francisco. Vincent is also a pastor, popular retreat leader and presence on Saturday mornings in the Meditation Chapel. Fr. Thomas was reading Vincent’s book, Contemplating Christ, The Gospels and The Interior Life, in the weeks prior to his death and thought very highly of it.
