Poetry as Prayer: A Brown Bag Lunch with Fr. Jeff Godecker
Join Fr. Jeff Godecker as he gives retreatants insight into poetry as prayer. Many people do not like or understand poetry, but poetry can be a window into the Spirit and can often deepen spirituality. Fr. Jeff has presented this particular interactive talk on several occasions and many have walked away saying 'I never knew I could like poetry in this way'. Of course, he has no guarantees but bets that you will hear a poem that touches your soul!
Fr. Jeff was ordained in 1969 and has served as pastor, teacher, director of religious education for the archdiocese and chaplain at various high schools and colleges. Since 2007 he has served as the chaplain for the Butler University Catholic Community.
11:00 am - 2:00 pm, however you are welcome to stay around the retreat house until 4:00 pm for reflection and prayer.
No charge but goodwill offerings are accepted. Beverages will be served but you are encouraged to bring your own brown bag lunch!

'Worldwide Marriage Encounter Weekend
Each year Our Lady of Fatima Retreat House hosts two WWME weekends. These weekends are for any married couple desiring a richer, fuller life together, helping couples to deepen and enrich the joys in marriage. The weekend gives couples a chance to examine their lives together, to share feelings, hopes, disappointments, joys, frustration and to learn to do so in an honest heart-to-heart encounter. It is not a retreat nor a marriage clinic or group therapy. It is a unique approach to revitalizing a Christian marriage. A weekend of discovery for those who want to enrich their marriage.
