Live Jesus! 2022 is a half-day Lenten retreat sponsored by the Oblates of St. Francis de Sales. This is a morning of reflection, fellowship, and prayer based upon the humble and gentle spirituality of St. Francis de Sales and St. Jane de Chantal.
The April event is hosted by St. Thomas the Apostle Parish in Glen Mills, Pennsylvania.
Why Should I Attend Live Jesus!? Watch HERE.
Salesian Spirituality helps believers develop a deeper relationship with God through Jesus by defining a lifestyle centered on the little virtues: gentleness, humility, patience, gratitude, perseverance, and simplicity. This special event is an opportunity in Lent to retreat from our fast-paced world and turn to the quietness of our hearts.
“Healing Relationships…Let It Begin with Me,” is this year’s theme. This invites attendees to reflect on the relationships in their lives. Don’t miss this opportunity for believers throughout the area to gather in prayer and fellowship to reflect on God's gifts.

MORE ON THE KEYNOTE:
Fr. Dailey’s presentation will explore how the worldview of Salesian Spirituality remains profoundly relational. Letting our theme begin with St. Francis de Sales, we will look to his experience and his writing to explore (1) our individual relationship with God, (2) our interpersonal relationship with others among our families, friends, and foundations, and (3) our social relationships, in a culture that makes living relationally a daily challenge.
In each of these expanding circles of relationships, we will point to a “little virtue” that can help us practically to build, and heal, our many relationships.
All county and state COVID protocols will be followed at both Live Jesus! 2022 events. As with all Live Jesus! events, a video recording of the entire event will be available. At this point, we are not planning on a ZOOM option for Live Jesus! 2022.
