“When you say your Rosary, the angels rejoice, the Blessed Trinity delights in it, my Son finds joy in it too, and I myself am happier than you can possibly guess. AFTER THE HOLY SACRIFICE OF THE MASS, THERE IS NOTHING IN THE CHURCH THAT I LOVE AS MUCH AS THE ROSARY.” —Our Lady to Blessed Alan de la Roche (Offered Tuesday - Friday after Mass)
This letter is being sent to you because you currently have a child in Grade Two/Three/Four at one of our local schools and live within our parish boundaries.
A "Contemplative Retreat" focuses on the heart and one's personal spiritual experiences. To assist you to come to deep inner stillness, music, poetry, silent pauses, images, Scripture will be included in Powerpoint presentations. It is highly recommended that you eliminate any other activities during this 24 hour period so that you can fully enter into the process of "LISTENING" -- Listening to your deeper self -- Listening to the Divine within.

it has been a busy month for the Journey. A representative of the Journey attended weekend masses on successive weeks at St. Jerome's, Holy Family and St. Veronica,s Parishes to explain the Journey to Parishioners.
Representatives of the Journey will be speaking at all the Masses across the city in the fall to explain how important the Gathering Place will be to all Catholics.
Congratulations to the members of the Parishes that contributed a vast array of goods for the Garage Sale the last two Saturdays and the large group of volunteers who worked so hard to make it such a success
