On October 24 eighty-one members of the Precious Blood Family gathered for a two day retreat in Gevora, Spain.  The participants included many C.PP.S. missionaries, ASC sisters, and lay people from the various apostolates of the Province.  Two seminarians from Guinea Bissau were also in attendance. Father Barry Fischer, CPPS directed the retreat and offered a beautiful, deep, and challenging presentation on the renewal of the Church in the light of the spirituality of the Precious Blood and the teachings and witness of Pope Francis. Everyone appreciated the opportunity to reflect, meditate, pray and share time together. The family of the Precious Blood left the retreat enriched and more determined to walk with joy and hope.
