29th
Annual Feast of the Holy Innocents Retreat
Omaha, Nebraska
St. John's Church on Creighton University Campus
Dec. 26th to Dec. 28th, 2007
Dear Friends of the Omaha Catholic Worker:
The Omaha and the
Des Moines, Iowa Catholic Worker communities invite you to make your celebration
of Christmas complete by joining us as we explore the often ignored and
deeper meaning of the season.
Referencing the infant narrative from the Gospel of Matthew, we will examine
the links between King Herod's killing of the innocent children in Bethlehem
and the murderous deeds of the US-backed modern-day Herods. The Herods
of Jesus day were backed up by the legions of the Roman armies. Our Modern-day
Herods are backed up by the United States global military presence and
Offutt's nuclear and space commands.
This years retreat takes place in the basement of St. John's Church on
Creighton University campus at 2500 California Plaza, Omaha, NE.
The retreat begins at 7pm Wednesday, December 26th and ends on Friday,
December 28th at 1 pm with a Vigil and line crossing at Offutt AFB Kinney
Gate Entrance, South Fort Crook Road on Friday Dec 28th.
Please contact us ahead of time, if you are able. Sleeping bag space available.
Please bring food and drinks to share if you are able. If you need a bed,
please call ahead and let us know.
All are welcome, All are invited.
Please contact us for any further information.
