Vocations’ promotion. Zoom weekend retreat, Blackburn and Vietnam

Trieu Nguyen MSC, who organised this retreatm writes.  The retreat went well according to the feedback of participants. We had 9 men who joined the retreat, including Long, our pre-novice who was invited by Khôi. The retreat was for discerning vocation, MSC or other.

The retreatants were impressed with the way we ran the program and the atmosphere of friendliness and equality. For all of us, it was the first time to join an online retreat. We also had the accompaniment of Danh and Trụ for spiritual direction.

We celebrated the final mass with the presence of other community members. There was a surprise moment for retreatants because they are not familiar with sitting at Mass.

There are plans for another (offline) retreat in November for local participants.
