Place of the first retreat:

Racibórz-Miedonia, Diocese of Opole

Place of writing:

Diocese of Gliwice

Target group:

Internal retreat for the Above the Walls community

Retreat description:

The retreat accompanies Saint Peter from confessing the Messiah, through mistakes and falls, to the simple love of the Eucharist and the mission, “Feed my sheep.” Inspired by Archbishop Grzegorz Ryś’s teaching, it invites us to discover faith as a path of growth rather than a one-time exam already passed.
