THE PRESENTATION OF THE LORD SAINT GREGORY 300 CLUB

WEEK #17 $20—#13 $10—#109 CONGRATULATIONS! OUR LADY OF CALVARY WOMEN’S RETREAT FEBRUARY 21-23, 2020 On the weekend of February 21-23, 2020, the wom- en of our parish are invited to Our Lady of Calvary Retreat Center in Farmington, Ct. Experience a weekend filled with rest, relaxation and spiritual re-

• newal. You’ll have the opportunity to participate in

the sacraments, to hear conference talks, to share with other women and to reflect on this year’s theme. The theme for our 2019-2020 retreat season is in- spired by an old American hymn: How Can I Keep From Singing? This hymn and our retreat are all about perspective. The invitation is to first hear the song and then like a little bird that somehow senses the dawn, carefully start to sing while it is still dark. Our song, born of faith, hope, and love can heal us,

• ur families and our wounded world. For more infor-

mation about our Women’s Retreat and to register call Our Lady of Calvary Retreat Center at (860)677- 8519
