Women of the parish are invited to join Holy Family Catholic Community for our Women’s Ministry Morning Retreat “Sharing Our Journey” on Saturday, January 18, 2025, from 7:00 to 10:30 am at Holy Family Church and Hall. The day will feature Confession, Adoration, Mass, breakfast, and talks on “Entering the Song: The Powerful Gift of the Masculine and Feminine Hearts.” We are excited to welcome speakers Emily Davenport, Maggie Ederle, and Sr. Miriam James Heidland, who you may know from the Healing the Whole Person program, the Hallow app, and as one of the emcees for the National Eucharistic Congress.

The event is free to attend, but freewill offerings are appreciated.
