St. Mary Mother of God Church, Middletown, was filled to capacity with participants who attended the Baptized-Priest, Prophet, King Weekend Retreat, held Feb. 17-18. The weekend helped to mark the 50th anniversary of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal, which is being observed this year. The goal of the retreat was to help participants come to a better understanding of their Baptism and what it means to be baptized as priest, prophet and king. The weekend included spirit-filled praise and worship; talks by Father Jeffrey Kegley, pastor of St. Mary Parish and diocesan liaison to the Catholic Charismatic Renewal, and Father Richard Osborn, parochial vicar; personal testimonies; the Sacrament of Reconciliation; the Renewal of Baptismal Promises; prayer for the outpouring of the Gifts of the Holy Spirit and Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament.Photos courtesy of St. Mary Parish
