LINCOLN (SNR) – The Knights of the Holy Eucharist will host a Eucharistic retreat at Our Lady of Good Counsel Retreat House in Waverly Oct. 7-9 with Father Zachary, SOLT returning as the keynote speaker.
The retreat is the fifth for the Knights, a group of Franciscan religious brothers founded in 1998 by the late Mother Mary Angelica, foundress of EWTN. They serve the Diocese of Lincoln at multiple parishes and are dedicated to fostering loving, reverent devotion to God in the Most Blessed Sacrament.
Father Zachary of the Mother of God is a member of the Society of Our Lady of the Most Holy Trinity (SOLT). His appearances on EWTN as well as his worldwide travels enable him to teach and lead Catholics to live their Baptismal promises by responding to the universal call to holiness.
“At this time when the world is so full of division, fear and noise,” he said, “come on an important retreat and see how The Most Holy Eucharist is the perfect answer to all your questions.
“A retreat is a time to remember: God is God, He is good, the supreme good, He is our Father, Savior and Friend,” Father Zachary added. “He has a plan and he’s going to carry it out. Yes, there is a journey, there are struggles and challenges. But keep your focus on God.”
At the conclusion of the retreat, James Fisher, a postulant of the Knights of the Holy Eucharist, will receive a habit and new name as he enters novitiate.
“God has given me so many blessings, and I cherish the gift He gave me of having a vocation to religious life,” James said.
