Catholic Influencers&middot Wine and Chocolate

The Chocolate Retreat You Don’t Want to Miss!

Are you a Catholic that is hoping and praying to be who God meant you to be?

If your answer is yes, you are invited to the:

First Annual Catholics Online Retreat

“Be who God made you to be and set the world on fire.”

– St. Catherine of Siena

Who or what is “Catholics Online”?

In early 2017, Amy Brooks (blogger at prayerwinechocolate.com and author of Be Yourself: A Catholic Journal for Girls), created a group on Facebook titled “Catholic Social Media Influencers”.  Amy shared her vision for the group – to promote Catholics sharing their talents online and create a community of support among all Catholic influencers – male or female, blogger or artisan, ministry founder or motivational speaker).

Shortly after creating the group, Amy asked Sara Estabrooks (blogger of To Jesus, Sincerely) to help administrate the group and promote the

mbers in the community.  Sara brought a passion to the group that all members recognized and embraced.  Sara’s talent and work ethic made that community grow and Amy’s vision of an online directory and resource became a reality.

What is the purpose of CatholicsOnline.net?

CatholicsOnline.net has several purposes and missions:

One purpose of CatholicsOnline.net is to give as many Catholic Influencers as possible a united online platform and supportive community.

Another purpose is to give Catholics across the U.S. and the world a place to peruse talent and resources.  If a parish is looking for a local speaker, a skilled artisan or simply an inspiring read -CatholicsOnline.net provides for that need.

CatholicsOnline also offers social media campaigns to companies that desire more exposure within the Catholic community.

Why should I attend the CatholicsOnline Retreat/Conference?

You should attend the CatholicsOnline Retreat/Conference because you have been longing to reignite your fire – your fire for our faith and your fire that drives your mission.

This weekend event will allow you to reconnect with God and shape a plan to let the world know about your mission.

Check out this incredible itinerary:

csmi-retreat-schedule

Is this just for bloggers?

No.  This question has been asked more than once, and we can not stress enough how much we desire to promote Catholics with a mission.

Whether your mission is photography, jewelry making, running a non-profit, vlogging or speaking – this group and retreat is perfect for you.

How do I register?

Reignite Your Fire Retreat and Conference

Screen Shot 2018-03-25 at 12.31.38 PM

Why are you calling it a “Chocolate Retreat“?

This retreat is being held at the McMahon Retreat House in Wrentham, Massachusets.

The McMahon Retreat House is located on the grounds of Mount Saint Mary’s Abbey. This Abbey is home to close to fifty nuns of the Order of Cistercians of the Strict Observance, more commonly known as Trappistines. The Order was founded in 1098 at Citeaux, France and is now comprised of monks and nuns who live in over one hundred and seventy monasteries throughout the world. Trappistine Quality Candy, is the candy making industry that allows this community to be self-supporting. Through this work the Trappistine nuns are able to share with the poor and supports the communal life, giving Sisters the opportunity to work together for the common good. Through both prayer and effort, community members regardless of age can actively participate in this ‘labor of love’.

We will be praying with these sisters for part of the Retreat and will be able to purchase their candy from their gift shop!

Retreat attendees and speakers are coming from all over the U.S. and one member is traveling from Panama!  The Reignite Your Fire Retreat and Conference is being held April 27 – 29 (see agenda above).  CatholicsOnline.net would like to thank the Sisters of Trappistine Quality Candy who have offered their mansion for our event.

Are you considering joining us?  Trust that God will provide . . .

We are looking forward to praying and growing with you!

When I was 15 I realized that I was equating anger When I was 15 I realized that I was equating anger with self-confidence… and then I became very aware of how angry people had hurt me, but sad people were not hurtful.
At one point I remember thinking… “who do you want to be? A person that is hurtful… or someone else? if you can choose sadness instead of anger, do it. You don’t want to hurt people.”
I don’t know if Saint John Paul II really said this quote… but I do believe it’s solid advice when people we interact with do upsetting things. 

Choose sadness over anger… and pray for the people and about the situations that are upsetting you.

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of th In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.
Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is sadness, joy;
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console, to be understood as to understand, to be loved as to live.
For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. 
Amen.

You are the average of the five people you spend t You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with," popularized by Jim Rohn, suggests that your mindset, behaviors, and success are heavily influenced by your closest  circle. These individuals shape your habits, energy, and future by acting as a reflection of your own choices and environment. 

I don’t know who Jim Rohn is, but my guess is Saint Francis DeSales would agree with him.

“What does God want me to do??!!!@ Ever ask this “What does God want me to do??!!!@

Ever ask this question?
I feel like I’ve been asking it my whole life.

Some of the best advice I have gotten have been from Saints.

God has a plan for each of us. We are all called to holiness… but we do not all go by the same path (wise words from Saint Katharine Drexel).

The quotes I included in the Be Yourself Journal are actionable, doable and clear.
