Retreat!

"The goal and target of our life is He, the Christ who awaits us -- each one singly and altogether -- to lead us across the boundaries of time to the eternal embrace of the God who loves us."  Blessed John Paul II

This week the four of us will be on our annual community retreat.  The focus of our prayer and conferences (offered by a wonderful Franciscan priest) will be discernment, leadership, foundation, Franciscan spirituality, and Marian devotion.  It is a great joy that on Sunday we will be consecrating our community of aspirants, the discernment and foundation of the congregation, and her present and future members to Our Lady!

Email us by Wednesday night and we will be happy to offer your intentions during our retreat.  

For this reason, we will not be blogging on Friday.

In the words of Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati, "[We] ask you to pray a lot for [us], because [we] desperately need from God the grace to carry out [our] projects to good effect... Only prayers can obtain from God the desired improvement."

Know that you are all in our prayers!
