Relive a great experience or meet it for the first time in these presentations from Imago Dei's first national retreat.
In August, 2007, Imago Dei hosted an enrichment retreat for study group facilitators at Christendom College in Front Royal, Va. Participants came from as far away as Kansas and Florida and even Nicaragua. The chaplain for the retreat was Fr. Joseph Rogers of the Archdiocese of Washington, who delivered two stirring talks and a homily on the Scriptural foundations of the Theology of the Body. The retreat program provided lively interactions among the participants, enriching presentations on the Theology of the Body, and ample time for prayer and recollection, taking advantage of the beautiful campus and chapel. You are welcome to listen to the presentations by clicking on the appropriate icon at the bottom of this page.
