13 Catholic teachers from various schools attended the Recollection: "Called to Teach & Build" over the weekend (5 - 6 Jun 2009) held at the Ignatian Spirituality and Counseling Centre. Br Dominic Yeo-Koh facilitated the 5 sessions throughout the retreat, during which he guided the teachers to reflect on their spiritual wellness and invited them to renew their commitment as Christian educators.
Br Dominic quoted from Parker Palmer, Martha Finney, Deborah Dasch, Steve Jobs, etc. They listened and contemplated on the call of Abraham, Moses, Samuel, Jeremiah and Mary in Scripture, and were invited to look at their own vocation and personal call by God.
Here are some of the feedback recieved:
"Sharing was great. Time for prayer and reflection was well spread. Good to have time for this."
"Sharing from other participants was inspiring. It was enriching - nice environment & able to relate closely to God."
