The Call to Holiness – Men of the New Testament
Called to be Holy – Two of the most poignant challenges of the Second Vatican Council were the “Universal Call to Holiness” and the “Universal Call to Mission”. As Christians, we are called to be holy. The path to holiness is a lifelong journey. Thankfully, we have ancestors in the faith who demonstrate various characteristics of holiness. During our retreat, we will focus on women and men of the New Testament who, through their words and actions, embodied the message of Jesus, the true path to holiness.

We hope this finds you well. Lent begins next week with Ash Wednesday.
Our last Men’s Silent retreat is on March 13-15 and there are quite a few spots available. Please register online soon to make sure you have a spot.
We have confirmed that Fr. Matt Linn will be here for the July 17-19 retreat. He contacted us recently to discuss a new title that includes Hope and Kindness in a world that is angry. We encourage you to make plans to attend this retreat.
Fr. Rolheiser and Fr. Charlie have not yet sent us the topic of their retreats, but we are excited to have them with us this August as usual.
Susan Stabile will join us in November, instead of her usual Advent retreat. We are very much looking forward to having her with us as well.
As always, our prayer basket is in front of the altar and we remember the prayers that it contains during our daily Mass. Please send us your prayer requests and we’ll make sure they are added.
Please contact me or Connie in the office if you have any questions. We will be praying for you during your Lenten journey.
Have a very blessed day,
Anita Goth, Retreat Coordinator

Presented by Susan Stabile – Silent Weekend Retreat for Men and Women
Mary occupies a special place in our Catholic tradition. While our ultimate model for discipleship is her Son Jesus, spending time with and learning from Mary helps us deepen our growth in God and Christ. This retreat invites us to reflect on and embrace the many faces of Mary and to appreciate her in her fullness—as first disciple, as mother of God, as mother of church, as a woman of prayer, and as a real woman of faith. Doing so will help us to appreciate Mary’s pre-eminent place in the communion of saints.
