Come, Follow Me Formation Retreat

From June 10 – 12, we had a wonderful opportunity to offer formation in Spanish for 40 retreatants using the catechetical program Come, Follow Me. The participants came from several parishes throughout our diocese and even from as far as Minnesota. Because most of the teachers are Spanish-speakers, we offered simultaneous translation for English speakers.

Fr. José Aurelio Jimenez (pictured below) traveled from San Sebastián, Spain to provide formation, experience, and the catechetical context of this beautiful program. Come, Follow Me developed from the lay community Notre Dame de Vie, which was begun by the French Carmelite Blessed Marie-Eugene of the Child Jesus.

Emmanuelle Bonhomme (projected below) is one of the formators of Come, Follow Me and Zoomed in from France to share her experience.

It was a moving and fruitful retreat with many graces for us Sister Servants and the participants (some pictured below)!
