New Life Retreat
October 16-19
The New Life Retreat weekend is an invita-

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 guid-
ance in your faith journey? Are you seeking
a personal 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
component 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 encourage you to bring a friend or fami-
ly member.
