We are excited to present not one, but TWO women’s retreats… A local retreat in mid-October and a mountain retreat in early November. Come to both and receive extra graces!

 

Our theme is God’s Whisper of Love and Forgiveness. We are pleased to announce that Kate McKenzie will be our facilitator. Kate has been preparing under the mentorship of Sr. Carlotta DiLorenzo, CSJ. The sessions are based on the Love/Forgiveness Guides for Prayer by Bergan & Schwan as well as the works of Henri Nouwen, Peter Van Breemen SJ, and Richard Rohr.

 

Get your name in now for the early bird special.

 

The local retreat discounted rate of $35.00 must be paid by Sept. 17.
The mountain retreat fee is only $145.00 if paid in full by Oct. 1.

 

A new retreat flyer is attached with all the information you need to say YES! Please share it with your friends and family, and extend your personal invitation to others in our circle and beyond.

 

This weekend the retreat ladies will personally invite & handout flyers to the women of the Parish. This is the start to the retreat campaign. On September 16th and 17th we will have a the registration table in front of the church for signups.

 

We thank God for all of you. You are in our prayers and please keep us in yours. Our trust is in Him who longs for us to know and share His unconditional Love and Forgiveness.
