opposition to war. Fr. Nangle is a council member of Pax Christi
Metro D.C. and the Assisi Community in D.C.,

and religious committed to a simple lifestyle and ministries of justice
and peace. He also served as a missioner in Bolivia and
Peru
for 15 years during the rise of liberation theology. His 2004 book,
Birth of a Church, captured how one parish lived into
the vision of
this theology.

Young Adult Community (YAC) Retreats |
These annual weekend retreats are
held in the fall and spring at the Bellarmine Retreat Center
in Blue Ridge Summit, Pennsylvania. Generally,
the groups explore their faith lives in action with respect
to God. They are weekends of reflection and renewal--and
are a great way to become involved in the Young
Adult Community (YAC). |
| Annual
Spring Retreat: April 18 – 20, 2008 |
The Young Adult Community invites young people to gather for this weekend away from the distractions of a busy life in a busy city.
The retreat team has begun planning but your time and talents are needed. Do you play a musical instrument? Are you a wiz in the kitchen? Do you feel called to share your experiences and give a talk? Are you interested in leading a small group? You need not have attended or worked
at a previous retreat to help out. For more information or to express interest please contact us at retreat@holytrinityyacs.org.
