La Purísima Concepción Parish SHINE Retreat September 25, 26, & 27, 2015

The SHINE Retreat provides the opportunity to establish and rekindle a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and bond with other Catholics from our parish. The success of this retreat for the past 22 years is because it is Christ and heart centered. It consists of a series of presentations provided by our pastor Fr. Tom, Deacon Rich, and parishioners with small group discussions. It takes place in our Parish Hall, you go home at night and meals are provided. There is no cost for the retreat. You only need to bring a willingness to be open to Jesus and to each other. Brochures with registration forms are in the vestibule and Pastoral Center or go to our website Lapurisima.org/shine and click on "Shine sign up form". Please turn in forms to Pastoral Center by September 14th. Any questions? Please contact Deacon Rich Stalder at 819-1380 or 733-2533.

DID YOU KNOW?

Teach your children to respect their own boundaries Teaching your kids about the importance of boundaries and personal space will help them develop healthy relationships. Anything outside of your children’s comfort zone should be addressed right away. You child should be able to express to anyone how and when they like to be hugged, patted or held. As a parent, you should back up your child’s established boundaries to friends and family. For complete article from VIRTUS® email: jvienna@la-archdiocese.org.
