WHAT IS CORNERSTONE?
Have you ever had a feeling that life is going by too fast? DID YOU EVER WISH YOU COULD STOP THE WORLD FOR A DAY, CATCH YOUR BREATH AND HAVE A CHANCE TO REFLECT ON WHAT’S IMPORTANT IN YOUR LIFE? Cornerstone will provide just that. Offering you the opportunity to strengthen your faith, come closer to Christ, and grow in a Christian community. During Cornerstone you will also have the opportunity to meet and interact with other men from OLM in a warm, welcoming environment. THIS IS A UNIQUE EXPERIENCE FOR MEN.
WHO CONDUCTS CORNERSTONE?
A team of men from OLM who have attended past Cornerstone experiences offer their talents in various ways. Some team members give presentations on selected themes or lead small group discussions. Others plan liturgy, music, meals and accommodations. All of them are dedicated to ensuring an atmosphere of warmth and hospitality thoughout the event.
WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT?
Cornerstone activities begin with Saturday night dinner at 6:00pm and ends on Sunday at 9:00pm (only 27 hours). You stay overnight at The Fellowship Deaconry Christian Retreat Center in Liberty Corner, NJ. You’ll want for nothing. All you need to bring is an open mind and a willing heart. The presentations by team members will be followed by small group discussions. There will be opportunities for personal reflection, reconciliation and Eucharist. You will also have time to get to know the other OLM men who are also sharing this enlightening experience with you. Many people have participated in the Cornerstone Experience. People from all walks of life have sought this opportunity to gain a greater understanding of themselves and what it means to be part of a Christian community.
AFTER THEIR EXPERIENCE, MOST FEEL THAT THEY HAVE GROWN SPIRITUALLY, COME CLOSER TO THE LORD, AND DEVELOPED A GREATER CONNECTION WITH THE MEN OF THEIR PARISH.
Please consider attending and give yourself this gift of time…..You deserve it.
