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.

February is dedicated to The Holy Family
Joseph got up, took the child and his mother by night, and departed to Egypt, and remained there until the death of Herod.
This was to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the
prophet, “Out of Egypt have I called my son.”
Matthew 2:13-15 RSV-SCE O most loving Jesus, Who by Thy surpassing virtues and the example
of Thy home life didst hallow the household in which Thou didst choose
to live while on earth, mercifully look down upon this family, whose
members, humbly prostrate before Thee, implore Thy protection. Remember
that we are Thine, bound and consecrated to Thee by a special devotion.
Protect us in Thy mercy, deliver us from danger, help us in our
necessities, and impart to us strength to persevere always in the
imitation of Thy Holy Family, so that, by serving Thee and loving Thee
faithfully during this mortal life, we may at length give Thee eternal
praise in heaven.
O Mary, dearest Mother, we implore thy assistance, knowing that thy divine Son will hearken to thy petition.
And do thou, most glorious patriarch, St. Joseph, help us with thy
powerful patronage, and place our petitions in Mary's hands, that she
may offer them to Jesus Christ. Amen. |
