Life In The Eucharist Retreat with Fr. George Dunne, SSS


The first National Eucharistic Congress in 83 years will take place in Indianapolis, Indiana this July. As the high point of the 3-year Eucharistic Revival, approximately 80,000 Catholics will come together from all over the country “to experience personal renewal through the power of Christ’s love.” Those attending the Congress will hear talks and engage in conversation with other Catholics.

You don’t need to pack your bags, purchase an expensive airline ticket, reserve an over-priced hotel room, and wait in long lines to pass through security to attend Eucharistic-Focused sessions during the National Eucharistic Congress in Indianapolis!

San Pedro Spiritual Development Center is offering an excellent way to be a part of this national revival, July 19-20! Join us for the Life In The Eucharist weekend here at San Pedro lead by Reverend George Dunne, SSS, a Congregation of the Blessed Sacrament priest and his Life In The Eucharist team. Father George and his team have been presenting the Life In The Eucharist weekend program for over 10 years throughout the Diocese of Orlando and beyond.    

Life in the Eucharist is a program of the Congregation of the Blessed Sacrament priests and brothers and was introduced to the Diocese of Orlando by Fr. Dunne at St. Stephen parish in Winter Springs while he was assigned there as Parochial Vicar. The program is designed to assist Catholics to deepen their understanding of the Eucharist.

Over the weekend, five specific topics break open the richness of the Eucharist as Celebration, Contemplation, and Communion.  This approach offers a comprehensive view of the Eucharistic mystery as attendees discover Eucharist as Nourishment, Reconciliation, Transformation, Abiding Presence, and Mission.  The discussions, teachings and witnesses that are shared during the weekend are presented by the team members and Fr. George Dunne, SSS.

The weekend begins with the first session on Friday evening, four sessions on Saturday and closes with the celebration of Mass. The weekend will include time for quiet reflection in the beautiful natural environment of San Pedro Center, all materials, and meals during the program. 

We are happy to welcome Fr. George Dunne, SSS and his Life In The Eucharist team to San Pedro Spiritual Development Center for this enriching program.
