Are you feeling burned out,
stressed out and worn out? Have you taken your spiritual temperature lately?
You just might be suffering from spiritual paralysis. How does God fit in your
life? How do you fit into the lives of those you touch? Have you been doing
everything the “world” has told you to do to be successful and still you come up
sort of empty? Especially when you know all along there has to be so much more
to your life. You and I together, and with your peers, can explore the proven
way to wholeness. We have created an environment away from the “world” in which
this transformation can take place. I am inviting you to give yourself the
gift of retreat. Yes, a retreat!
We have designed a special
program this past year so that I may invite you here for our young adults
retreat July 10 -12th. It is only for young adults like yourself and
promises to be an experience you will not forget.
I am excited about the prospect
of having you attend and meet other young men and women like you. To be honest
with you I really feel that we are losing your strength, the strength of all
young adults, and the Church is weaker because of that. If we can come together
that weekend we can draw strength from each other and be a more viable Church. All I am asking is for you to take a risk and attend the retreat. I won’t ask
you to do anything that you will regret or that you think might embarrass you.
You will not have to speak publicly or be singled out. This is between you and
God. There is ample opportunity on the weekend for personal quiet time
as well as social time.
Our theme for the retreat is
“Christ Our Hope”. Registrations begin at 5pm Friday and we have a pick up
supper from 6-7:30pm. We begin at 8:00 with introductions. The program ends at
noon on Sunday. The requested stipend for the entire program is $195 which
includes your $30 deposit. This includes a private room and meals. You must
call to reserve your room or
you can get a registration form here.
Your registration must be received no later
than July 6th.
Opportunities like this are not
always available and I truly pray that you will favor yourself with this gift.
Please call to register or with any questions you might have.

March is dedicated to St. Joseph
Behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit; 21 she will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins."
Matthew 1:20b-21 RSV Oh,
St. Joseph, whose protection is so great, so strong, so prompt before the
throne of God, I place in you all my interest and desires. Oh, St. Joseph,
do assist me by your powerful intercession, and obtain for me from your
divine Son all spiritual blessings, through Jesus Christ, our Lord. So
that, having engaged here below your heavenly power, I may offer my
thanksgiving and homage to the most loving of Fathers. Oh, St. Joseph, I
never weary contemplating you, and Jesus asleep in your arms; I dare not
approach while He reposes near your heart. Press Him close in my name and
kiss His fine head for me and ask Him to return the Kiss when I draw my
dying breath. St. Joseph, Patron of departing souls - Pray for me. .
