Maryknoll Retreat
with Edwina Gately

8-12 January, 2006

The first part of our annual gathering in the small city of Hua Hin in southern Thailand was a retreat led by Ms. Edwina Gately, the founder of the Volunteer Missionary Movement in the United Kingdom. She is quite an inspirational speaker with a dramatic presentation style.

Edwina Gately spoke about her mission work, first as founder of the Volunteer Missionary Movement in Britain, and then as the founder of Genesis, a program working with prostitutes in Chicago.
