Dear Brothers in Christ,
Our Lord said to his disciples “Let the Peace of Christ rule in your heart” – Colossians 3:15
This scripture is telling us that peace will not just come and stay with us of it’s own accord. We need to allow it to settle within our hearts and hold it fast so that our peace is not taken away. This verse tells us that we have to PURSUE peace. That is, we need to chase after it so as to not let it escape us.
The retreat team has selected this Scripture as the theme for our 33rd Manhattan College Businessman’s
Reality Retreat which will be held at the beautiful Mt. Alvernia Retreat Center in Wappingers Falls, NY on
September 27, 28, 29th, 2024.
We invite you to come to this year’s Retreat ready to recharge your batteries, soak up the energy of
others, and shine your light for all to see. Please share this gift and bring your son, grandson, or a friend.
Our Retreat Mission is to inspire men to take responsibility for their spiritual lives and develop an
intimate relationship with Jesus. What better way to do that than to spend a weekend with fellow
Christ centered men listening to 5 inspiring speakers, having good conversations in breakout sessions,
during communal meals, or over late-night coffee, tea and cookies.
It is always a pleasure to reach out to all who visit our website to bring the news of our next retreat. I hope this letter can incite similar preparation and anticipation for another spirit filled gathering in September.
May God bless you and your loved ones,
Live Jesus in our hearts forever,
Peter Monaco, CE
