This retreat takes its theme from the first scriptures for Eucharist on August 20-21 from the prophet Ezekiel.  Fr. Williams will offer some wisdom from Dominican tradition to help participants see ways the Spirit may be working in them even if they feel their spiritual bones have dried up and their hearts have turned to stone.

Born in Natchitoches, LA, Fr. R.B. was ordained a priest in 1971.  He has served in campus ministry, as pastor of parish churches, as chaplain to Dominican Sisters, in retreat ministry and parish missions.  Over his 48 years of ministry, he has also been active in health care ethics and matrimonial tribunal ministry.  He has recently been appointed the local superior of the Dominican community in Lubbock, TX.
