Forgiveness is a gift you give yourself!  It is a fragrant healing ointment purchased at a great price but well worth it.  George Roemisch puts in this way:  “Forgiveness is the fragrance of the violet, which still clings to the heel that crushed it.”  Come, reflect, pray, and with God’s gift of grace and with an open heart, experience the fragrant healing of forgiveness.  Our program will be facilitated by Sister Concetta Fabo.

The retreat weekend will open on Friday with Dinner at 6:00 pm and conclude on Sunday morning.  The weekend will include conferences presented by Sr. Concetta; Mass and Reconciliation services with Father McGrath; time will be allotted for personal prayer and reflection.

Registration Deadline for this program Sept. 7th.
