November 30, 2019

Just a reminder about our Day of Recollection, November 30 at the Franciscan Friary, 5750 Rosemont Blvd.( Entrance is at the base of the steps of the church, on the right. We are in the basement.) I included a schedule, which may change slightly. We are fortunate to have Father Raymond Lafontaine as our presenter. Fr. Raymond Lafontaine is the  Episcopal Vicar for the English-speaking Faithful, Director of the Office for English Pastoral Services and Pastor of St. Monica Parish. Besides all that he is a very good preacher. His talks are based on Pope Francis' APOSTOLIC EXHORTATION, "GAUDETE ET EXSULTATE", (the call to holiness in today's world).

This includes the cost of $148.50 per person charged by the retreat centre (for 2 overnight stays, an ensuite room, 5 meals and snacks during the breaks) and $31.50 per person to cover the expenses for travel, accommodation and honorarium for the facilitator.
