About this Event

Snapshots of Sanctity, Habits of Holiness

Oct. 31-Nov. 1 | 9 a.m. Saturday to Noon Sunday

Led by Fr. Joe Nassal

Each Autumn, we celebrate a Triduum of feasts — All Hallows Eve, All Saints, and All Souls — to remember how God makes us worthy to be saints by calling us children of God.

When we look through the photo album of our faith, family, and community life, we see many snapshots of sanctity.

Often those we call “saints” are no longer with us. Look closely at these holy cards, these pictures of priestly people, and you will see how they are all dressed in the garment of grace.

Their habit is holiness.

Trace the threads in these habits of holiness and you will see woven into the fabric of their lives the qualities described in the Beatitudes (Matthew 5, 1-12).

This retreat seeks to deepen our desire to live as children of God now as we discover sanctity is not for a chosen few but for all.

We invite you to bring pictures of those in your life whose holiness inspired you on your journey of faith.

Suggested offering: $50 (includes continental breakfasts, Saturday lunch and snacks).

We have limited overnight accommodations in our guesthouse for an additional fee. Indicate your interest at registration time.

If you are interested in staying in the guesthouse, make sure we have confirmed your reservation.

The images on this page are photographs a collection of tapestries called The Communion of Saints by artist John Nave. The 25 tapestries hang in the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels, Los Angeles, California. They depict 135 saints and blesseds from around the world, including holy men and women of North America canonized by the Church. Twelve untitled figures, including children of all ages, represent the many anonymous holy people in our midst. All the figures direct our eyes to the light of the great Cross-window above the Altar where the Eucharist is celebrated. Learn more about the tapestries here: https://olacathedral.org/tapestries
