Registration for this retreat has closed.

As Saint Pius continues our 2022-2023 Year of Encounter, we invite you to join us for our fall afternoon of retreat, Encounters on the Road.  Together we will reflect upon how we are called to encounter Christ and to encounter others by praying with the Gospel accounts of the Greatest Commandment and the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37).  Our retreat will conclude with a talk by special guest Meg Hunter-Kilmer, who has spent the past decade "on the road" helping people to encounter Christ through her unique itinerant ministry.

A self-described "hobo for Christ," Meg Hunter-Kilmer is a Catholic speaker, author, retreat leader, and blogger who has spent the past ten years driving across the country to share the fierce and tender love of God.  She currently serves as a Fellow of Notre Dame's McGrath Institute for Church Life and has published two books, Saints Around the World and Pray for Us: 75 Saints Who Sinned, Suffered and Struggled on Their Way to Holiness.   Learn more about Meg's travels and ministry at www.piercedhands.com.
 

Meet Meg Hunter-Kilmer!

The lives of the Saints are one of the most powerful ways God draws people to himself, showing us his love and the joy we can find in him. But so often, these Saints seem distant—impossibly holy or dull or unlike us in race and age and state in life. In Saints Around the World, you’ll meet over 100 Saints from more than 60 countries: Saints with different disabilities, strengths, and struggles. The beautiful illustrations and captivating storytelling will introduce you and your children to new heavenly friends while also helping you fall more in love with Jesus.

How is it possible that a chain-smoking socialist, a teenage video gamer, an opium addict, a satanic high priest, a disabled beggar, and a self-absorbed mean girl became saints?

Pray for Us isn’t your ordinary saint book: Hunter-Kilmer highlights the sorrows, struggles, and idiosyncrasies of broken people who turned their lives around and dedicated themselves to God and his work. Through these edgy profiles, full of fresh and fascinating stories, she explores the universal call to holiness and how God can transform anyone—from grouchy theologians to bratty teenagers—into saints. You’ll discover that anyone—even you—can become a saint if you trust in the Lord.
