DID YOU KNOW?

Human trafficking and technology Teenagers spend a lot of time online, making them prime targets for human traffickers. Using online ads that promise money and adventure in exciting, glamorous cities, traffickers attract young women and girls. Parents should be aware of the serious dangers online, and monitor what their children are doing—what sites they visit, social networks they may belong to, and who they are connecting with online.

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.
