The Office of Evangelization and Catechesis and the Knights of Divine Mercy invite all Catholic men to join their brothers in Christ for the sixth annual diocesan men’s Lenten retreat. This short retreat promises an opportunity to pursue your Lenten journey through spiritual talks and time for reflection and prayer.
“Only those who do not fight are never wounded;
those who charge the enemy with the greatest spirit
are the ones who receive the most blows.”
St. John Chrysostom

Father Rick Wendell
As a thirty year old carpenter and soon to be married, Rick was involved in a construction accident that left him clinicly dead for nearly three hours. During that time he had an out of body experience. Later, on a unplanned trip with his mother to Medjugorje, Yugoslavia, Our Lord appeared to him as The Good Shepard and asked him to become a priest. Rick entered the Seminary, and began a long and arduous road to the priesthood. Fr. Rick was Ordained in May, 2006, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and is now associate pastor at Holy Angles Parish in West Bend, WI. His amasing story of life, death and the graces he was given in Medjugorje will truly touch you.
