The Second Annual Magdalene Retreat was a blessing.  Here are some samplings from the retreat that will show its inspiration.

  Here is the Prior, Mark Gross, OPL, giving his presentation--cup in hand and a thoughtful and prayer-provoking point being made.  After each presentation, the retreatants prayed silently.  You can see below the agenda for each separate part of the retreat in contemplation of St. Margaret Magdalene and her true relationship with Christ.  Mark was the Retreat Master and the retreat was held at the Chapterhouse in Homedale. 

   Here are a few of the retreatants doing what many Dominicans do well, talk and eat!  God bless them all!
