Parish wide retreat: November 3rd, 2019 @ OLR. Bring a bag lunch to eat at noon. Coffee and refreshments will be offered by the parish. Our priests will offer reflections as follows: Fr. Maurice and Fr. Sev will share about their faith experience back home in Africa and our common call to holiness. Fr. Estanislao will invite us to reflect on how to live our vocation to holiness and the mission to spread the Word of God in our world. The day will be broken into three 20-25 minute reflections with some time for prayer in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament and breaking into smaller groups to share our thoughts. The retreat will wrap up around 3 pm. We hope to see all of you as we get together to pray and reflect on our spiritual life.
