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.
To register, call Odette at (613) 224-5723.
