FRIENDSHIP IN JESUS

The goal of these talks is to re-awaken the fundamental call we have received as brothers and sisters of Jesus. We will reflect upon our commitments and obligations, the joys and the challenges that is at the heart of any relationship. Realizing the absolute necessity of a relationship with our God in order to better serve our God.

The second part examines the relational aspect of our faith through which prayer, service, forgiveness and justice are key.

In the end, this retreat will address the singular question: How can I grow closer to Jesus in my life?

STM Singles Retreat Master 2011

Fr. Ronald J. Hoye, C.M.

Fr. Hoye was born in California but grew up in a farming community in southern Missouri for most of his life. In between school, his life was busy bailing hay and working the farm with his other two brothers. Growing up, he was influenced greatly by his mom (a nurse) and his dad (a surgeon) whose lives were about reaching out and helping others. Fr. Ron chose a similar path and was ordained a priest in the Congregation of the Mission of St. Vincent DePaul in 1991. Since then, he has done a variety of ministries that has involved him in the rural life of Southeast Missouri, the inner city of St. Louis and the urban experience of Chicago.

Fr. Hoye holds a B.S. in Philosophy and two Masters Degrees—a M.Div. in Theology from St. Thomas in Denver, CO and a MA in Ethics from Catholic Theological Union in Chicago, IL.

Fr. Hoye has been heavily involved in youth activities and programs both domestically and internationally. He co-founded the Association of Vincentian Marian Youth in the United States and founded a program of young adult service outreach in the United States called VOYA. He most recently was involved in campus ministry at DePaul University in Chicago where he continues to also teach classes in World Religions and Ethics.

Fr. Hoye enjoys the outdoors but says his love for backpacking and rock climbing in no way diminishes his enjoyment of attending a good baseball game (go Cubs). He runs marathons and participates in Olympic Triathlons during the summer and fall months. Fr. Ron listens to and enjoys all kinds of music and gratuitously admits his most tragic downfall: a tent, a kayak, and a good book in the middle of nowhere. Fr. Hoye currently lives in Chicago, IL.
