Fr. Den Irwin of St. Columba's Church in Dothan led a group of men through a silent retreat on September 12 - 14, 2008.  Participants were from Alabama, Mississippi, and Florida.  A strong contingent from Milton significantly increased the ranks of those benefiting from this opportunity to grow in understanding of the spiritual life and to strengthen their union with God. 

 Paul Halladay was the coordinator and captain for the retreat.
