Morning Mini-Retreat and Farewell Reflections, Farewell Brunch - Rose Parlor

The 5:00 Liturgy on Saturday fulfills the Sunday obligation, so there will not be a Liturgy on Sunday morning.  The mini-retreat will be a time to gather for final reflections on the discussions that occurred throughout the Symposium.
 
Because many participants have travel plans on Sunday, please tell the staff at the registration table whether you intend to stay for brunch on Sunday and whether you will participate in the mini-retreat.
