Parish Retreat - VIDEOOur Parish Retreat was quite a success!
Our experience during the pandemic can be compared to what Israel faced in the Old Testament. Our retreat -- Exile and Return -- explored OUR time of exile (cut off from family and friends) as well as our need to renew our faith and our parish life as we emerge from the pandemic.
