Tres Dias
The Spanish works "Tres Dias" mean "three days."  Although it can be held on any three consecutive days, a Tres Dias weekend usually begins on Thursday evening, and ends the following Sunday in the late afternoon.  During the three days, those attending live and study together, communicating with one another to gain a permanent living awareness of their faith, and of the responsibility that such a deep awareness involves.     The Tres Dias team leading the weekend is composed of former attendees of a Tres Dias weekend who have volunteered their time for weeks of preparation, working and praying together as a unit.   Tres Dias is centered around 15 talks: 10 given by lay people and 5 by clergy.   In addition to the talks, there are also worship periods, singing, and celebrations of Holy Communion.     Notes are taken during the talks, and each talk is then discussed in small groups with lay leaders assigned to each table.  The interchange that develops in these discussions makes Christ's teachings come alive.  There is presented in three days the basis of the Christian life, the meaning of living the Christian ideal, and its application in our daily lives.     Tres Dias can be made only once in a lifetime.  Therefore it is not a substitute for a retreat, nor does it have the individual solitude of a retreat.    The basic atmosphere of Tres Dias is one of love, joy and Christian fellowship.   Actually, Tres Dias can make succeeding retreats and other experiences more profitable.   More Info on Tres Dias		....an incredible Christian experience!  I didn't truly understand what being a Christian meant until I attended!                                             Bill Starck       Like a family reunion but fun!                                             Kim Starck     ....a religious experience like no other.                                             Pat Starck
