Dan Mead’s Retreat Reflection After attending my retreat, I
experienced more joy by being shown the importance of keeping
my heart open to receive the Lord's grace and mercy instead of clench-
ing my hands and protecting my heart in fear of the unknown. I want to continue living in the presence of the Lord each day.

The confirmation class had a wonderful experience on their Confirmation Retreat that was held on January 4th, 2020. These young adults had the amazing opportunity to attend Net Mass, and break out into men's’ and women's’ sessions. Thank you to everyone who kept them in your prayers. We loved hearing about their reflections on the sessions, and to see how God is working in their lives. We would like to especially thank Fr. Gregory for giving us a blessing before we departed Holdingford, Fr. Jeremy for attending the retreat with us, Jeff Mastey, our Bus driver, for getting us down to St. Paul safely, and to the All Saints Christian women for donating the money towards our supper. Please continue to keep these young adults in your prayers, as they continue to prepare their hearts for the wonderful sacrament of confirmation. ~Mary Solarz and Teresa LeBlanc
