He also received his Ph.D. in Mythology with an Emphasis in Depth Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute.

The theme of the Retreat Day is "Developing a Spirituality for the Two Halves of Life." Fr. Jim tells us "In this retreat we will look at different ways of fostering a deepening spirituality within the context of our lives." Using biblical, anthropological, and theological insights, Fr. Jim will help us to focus on the important themes of Catholic Spirituality within the context of our personal and professional lives.

The cost of the day is $65, which includes a welcoming continental breakfast and a full service lunch. Mass will be held at 3:30 p.m.
