New Life Retreat October 16-19

The New Life Retreat weekend is an invitation

to a life-changing encounter with the living

Jesus Christ and a call to “let go and let

God”.

Are you feeling that your plans for your life

haven’t brought the joy and meaning that

you expected? Are you looking for guidance

in your faith journey? Are you seeking a per-

sonal relationship with the living Jesus

Christ?

Give this weekend a try so that God can tell

you in a new or deeper way how much He

loves you. This retreat is an important com-

ponent in the faith development of St. Mary’s

Parish. It is a weekend to learn more about

the power and richness of the Holy Spirit and

to be baptized in the Holy Spirit. It is also an

opportunity to make new friendships in the

Lord.

Join us for the New Life Retreat, Friday to

Monday, October 16, 17, 18 and 19. Past

retreatants are welcome to attend and we en-

courage you to bring a friend or family mem-

ber.

For information, pick up a brochure at the

back or side entrance of the Church.
