Half Day Retreat Presented by Deacon Ray Wellbank
All Parishioners Welcome!
All are invited to spend Saturday morning, September 25, with St. Peter as our guide. By taking Scripture passages that relate to incidents of his life, we will be able to draw valuable lessons on what it means to follow Our Lord. It is my hope that in reflecting with me upon these incidents from Peter’s life, that we will grow closer to him, and as a result, closer to Jesus. Please plan to attend! The retreat takes place from 8:45 am until noon, at the Assumption Convent, up the street from St. Stanislaus Church at 506 Crestview Avenue.
