WAVERLY (SNR) – Father Steven Mills will lead a retreat Dec. 16-18 at Our Lady of Good Counsel Retreat House in Waverly, entitled “Incarnational Intimacy.”
“The Incarnation changed our vision for reality,” Father Mills said. “We will explore our desire for intimacy, our struggles with intimacy, and the role of the sacraments in our transformation. The Incarnation of Jesus Christ teaches us how to be intimate with the Lord, ourselves, and our families.”
The retreat, he said, is an opportunity to “exhale” before Christmas; to get that final embrace of the preparation and anticipation that fills Advent.
“It will be an opportunity to experience Christmas with a softened heart that is ready to receive everything and anything that God has in store for us,” he said.
Father Mills served as a FOCUS missionary before entering the seminary, and was ordained a priest in 2013. He was first appointed assistant pastor for the Cathedral of the Risen Christ in Lincoln and then the St. Thomas Aquinas Newman Center at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
In 2019, he was appointed part-time chaplain for campus ministry at Benedictine College in Atchison, Kan., and to further studies in education administration. He currently serves as assistant principal at Pius X High School in Lincoln.
