Internationally Acclaimed Speaker & New York Times Best-Selling Author Will Bring ‘Passion & Purpose’ To Newtown

Matthew Kelly, with  special musical guest Eliot Morris, will lead a one-day regional retreat at St Rose of Lima on Saturday, January 11. Doors will open at 8 am for check-in and seating, and the retreat will begin promptly at 9. It will continue until 4, and registration is required prior to the day of the event to attend.

For those who have ever wondered if God was speaking to them or if it was just a voice in their head… For those who want to know how to tell the difference… The Passion & Purpose event will explain was being a “dynamic Catholic” means  and how to apply the ideals of Catholicism to everyday lives.

Most Catholics feel inadequate when it comes to doing this, and from that has been born the series of one-day events. The retreats are for people of all ages: parents and children, husbands and wives, boyfriends and girlfriends, single or married, young or old, Catholic or non-Catholic. The event is about living every day with passion and purpose, and the role the Catholic faith is meant to play in midst of it all.

Registration is $99 for workshops, lunch and all materials, or $49 for workshops and lunch, and can be done online at www.MatthewKellyInCT.com. Registration forms and information are also available by calling 203-426-2333 x0.

Matthew Kelly was born in Sydney, Australia. He began his lay ministry in 1993. Since that time he has traveled in more than 50 countries and spoken to more than three million people. He has written 12 books that have appeared on The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today bestseller lists and been published in 25 languages. His titles include: The Rhythm of Life, The Seven Levels of Intimacy, The Dream Manager, Building Better Families, and Rediscovering Catholicism. The majority of his work today is in the United States speaking to students from primary school through college, lay adults, priests, and seminarians. He also leads numerous retreats every year, both in the United States and abroad.

Mr Kelly’s core message, regardless of whether he is addressing CEOs, high school students, priests, or parish communities, invites listeners to become the best version of themselves. According to a prepared release, he convincingly communicates this message as God’s desire for each person. And he insists it is also the desire of parents for their children, husbands and wives for each other, CEOs for their companies and employees, pastors for their parishes, and managers and lay ministers for those they lead and instruct.

The message of becoming the best version of yourself, inspired by Vatican II’s universal call to holiness, allows Mr Kelly to present the genius of Catholicism through his seminars and writings in a way that is disarmingly simple and yet, deeply profound.
