NOVA Retreat at Shrinemont

About 50 attended this year's retreat in Orkney Springs, VA. Weather perfect, clean and healthy air, yummy food, new friendships formed, time for silence and prayer, fun & games, and meaningful sessions with Fr. Joe Nangle and Delores Leckey focused on pilgrimage and lay spirituality - extraordinary weekend.

They aren't writing much, eh?
Hey, this one was hard...
Eric is giving lessons to relieve back pain - but he doesn't look very serious about his instruction
Ken joined the back pain group and was quite bendable
Hurrah!!
Great music with John and Tim
Peace before us
Peace over us
Love over us
Meg and Emma attempted the cup song ....
Meg resorted to clapping - she was the champion cup song person - not so much the rest of us....
