WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT DURING DIFFICULT TIMES
Do not anticipate the unpleasant events of this life by anxiety; rather anticipate them with the perfect hope that, as they happen, God, to whom you belong, will protect you. He has protected you up to the present moment; just remain firmly in the hands of His providence and He will help you in all situations and at those times when you find yourself unable to walk, He will carry you.

New Year Retreat at Wellspring
Saturday, January 9, 2021
9:30 am - 12:30 pm
What better way to start the new year than with a retreat at Wellspring. Our New Year Retreat will focus on being and becoming grateful and on nurturing grateful hearts. Gratefulness, our reflection theme for 2021, helps us become joyful, optimistic, generous, and free to give without expecting anything in return. This retreat will introduce participants to a deeper reflection on the virtue of gratefulness.
Fr. Gus Tharappel will guide the retreat.
Due to COVID-19, there is limited space at the retreat.
Please email us at retreatsatwellspring@gmail.com
to reserve a space at the retreat.
All retreat participants are asked to wear a mask and
socially distance at the retreat.
