Astronomy Retreat from "The Pope's Astronomer"

Faith, Science, and Beauty in the Stars
Brother Guy Consolmagno, SJ

From the opening of Genesis to the encyclical Laudato Si', our belief in a Creator has meant that we believe God "reveals Himself in the things He has made" (to quote St. Paul). By looking at beauty in both nature and in the science that lets us understand nature, what is God revealing to us?

The Cost for individuals is $240 and $395 for couples (includes lodging and 5 meals). The cost for commuters is $200.  Please register in advance by calling 509-448-1224.
