Cana I - Tĩnh Tâm Hiệp Sĩ
The Knights of the Eucharist are called to grow in faith, leadership, and commitment to their mission of serving Christ. This retreat is designed to strengthen our bond as a community and equip each Knight with the skills and spirit needed to lead with love and dedication. Through prayer, reflection, and interactive activities, we will explore what it means to be a true leader in our faith and how we can inspire others to remain steadfast on this journey. We invite all Knights of the Eucharist to join us in rekindling our passion for service and deepening our connection with Christ.
