Pandemics, Politics, and Pain, OH MY! San Damiano welcomes long-time master catechist, pastoral associate for children’s programs, and spiritual director, Margaret Riley, along with OCP composer, singer/storyteller and humorist, Jesse Manibusan. On August 20, 2022, Margaret and Jesse will lead a day-long hybrid retreat, cultivating compassion and hope. Through song, prayer, silence, group sharing, and listening, we’ll discover new ways to hold space for the good news and the difficult news; the blessings and burdens of life, and how compassion and self-compassion, are the way of Jesus. All are welcome. Come as you are! For more information, contact Kateri at katerik@sandamiano.org.
