Grace that Reigns offers a retreat Especially for Bishops and their Clergy
Dear Fathers,
We are honored to lead clergy retreats. Revived and restored priests are better equipped to serve the people of God.
During the retreat, we will focus on the renewing your sense of Wonder for yourselves and your vocation and how the Lord speaks to you in prayer.
+ Bishop Gilmore and
Jacqueline Loh -
What do we offer?
1. Let us Renew your Sense of Wonder for your Vocation
We want to open your eyes to the mystery of God’s supernatural grace working in your life and the world around you. God sees each of us as unique and invaluable. He shows us our worth through people, places, and things we encounter.
We help you to embrace your vocation and rediscover the gifts God has given you. We want to help you break down the obstacles that prevent you from seeing the wonder in your life. During the retreat we offer individual times for healing prayer and the sacrament of Confession.
"I w ould highly recommend Grace That Reigns ministry for pastors if you ,
yourself ar e looking for divine healing and a deeper understanding of prayer."
Rev. Don Bredore ( Great Bend KS )

2. The Divine Nature of Prayer
What happens when we sit down to pray? Learn about the perplexing landscape of prayer. We want to help our pastors to find practical ways of responding to prayer. Hear examples of how God responds to each of us through scripture, stories, sacraments, and testimonies.
St. Ignatius believed discernment had two paths: consolation and desolation. We will dig deep to ask ourselves if we are moving closer to God through consolation or drifting from God through desolation. Discover how the Lord comes to us no matter which path we are on. Each person will discover their own barriers to prayer and learn to overcome them.
Desolation is a beast lurking around all prayer. Learn how to face it and not fear it. We will offer time for healing prayer and the sacrament of Confession during the retreat.
"God has given this duo particular charisms that will find resonance among those who know charisms are real." Rev Larry Merta (Mesa, AZ)

Day of Recollection to Clergy - Phoenix Priests 2016 & 2015
Bishop of Phoenix, Bishop Thomas Olmsted with Bishop Ronald GIlmore and Jacqueline Loh. We were invited to give the Day of Recollection to priests in 2015 and in 2016.
Recommendation from Bishop Olmstead from the Diocese of Phoenix, AZ
" The viewpoint that Ms. Loh brings as a lay woman with her profound love, respect, and concern for men who serve the People of God as priests, provides priests with the opportunity and challenge to reflect on their ministry and appreciate in new ways how their lives and ministry affects those they have been called
to serve.”
Bishop Thomas J. Olmsted
Diocse of Phoenix, Arizona
"Your Reflections on the priesthood helped us all
enter more fully in renewing our priestly promises
at the Chrism mass later that evening. It also helped
us to deepen our experiences of the Pascal Triduum.
The Lord used your time with us to renew our zeal for
the Gospel and appreciation of our call. The Priests
truly benefitted from your reflections."
Fr. David San Filippo (Vicar for Priests) Arizona___________________________________________________________________________________________
