The Church of Today
Led by: Massimo Faggioli, PhD, and Helen Oesterle M.Div.
Massimo Faggioli and Helen Oesterle lead a thoughtful reflection on the state of our Catholic faith throughout the world since Vatican II. The retreat will start with a presentation of the idea of the Church at Vatican II, and will focus on the liturgical reform and its theological consequences. This historical-theological framework will provide a basis for discussion and reflection on the key issues of today's Church.
