Exploring Faith and Science: A Jesuit's Guide to the Stars *SATURDAY ONLY*
with Br. Guy Consolmagno, SJ
March 29, 2025
Join Brother Guy Consolmagno, S.J., Director of the Vatican Observatory, as we learn to find God Himself in the universe. Brother Guy’s talks will engage both the mind and the heart as he leads guests through finding God in the stars and in the joy experienced by observing the sky. The mere existence of such beautiful stars is a very particular sort of “something” that drives Leibnitz’s famous query “why is there something instead of nothing?”
Program rate includes three talks by Br. Guy, lunch and access to the Retreat at Heritage on Saturday 8:30am – 4:30pm
This program is open to guests age 18 and older.
Overnight retreat attendance is also an option. To register for the weekend please follow this link
