Carol Flegel asked James L. Papandrea:

I see your tour of Rome but not sure I could walk 10 miles a day. Do you ever give retreats? I just What Really Happens after We Die and Spiritual Blueprint. You are truly blessed and in turn bless your readers with your wealth of knowledge, faith and ability to share it. I recently lost my husband of 54 years, and your books have given me hope, peace and strength, moving through this day by day.

James L. Papandrea Hi Carol - thanks for your message! I'm so sorry for your loss, and I'm glad to hear that my books were helpful to you. Honestly, all I want my books to do is to draw people closer to Christ through his Church. To answer your question, yes, I do sometimes give retreats. In fact I have one based on Spiritual Blueprint. The way that would work is that a church or diocese would hire me to come in (if it's not in Florida where I live, I would have to fly in) and do the retreat. The local church or diocese does all the publicity and registrations, and I come in a lead the retreat. I've done retreats for lay people and for clergy. If you think your church might be interested in something like that, here's my direct email to contact me: jim@papandrea.net

Peace to you, in this time of loss and mourning, I pray you will feel the comforting presence of the Holy Spirit every day. - JP
