To Be Used for March 16, the Sunday Immediately Preceding
the Event
- The Men's Conference is this coming Saturday, March 22 from 9 am - 3 pm at St. Mary’s Church in St. Clairsville. The men will meet at the Parish Hall at 6 am and travel together in the parish van for some great fellowship and spiritual re-invigoration. Giving up an entire Saturday and traveling a long way is a big sacrifice for Lent. Being tough men, we're up to it and the Lord will reward us. Women, encourage your men to go. Certainly, you want them to become true men of God. Dr. Ray Guarendi, nationally known dynamic speaker, author, and national radio & TV host will say much in regard to being the spiritual leader of the family. You may register at the door, but calling your parish representative at (phone number) e.g., Paul Sebastian at 245-9404 beforehand as soon as you can would make planning so much easier.
To Be Used After the Conference is Over
Thanks to the 7 men from our
parish who attended the Diocesan Men’s Day of Renewal. It was our best turnout yet and also a
much younger group. Thanks to the
women who encouraged them; thanks to Fr. Tom for his support. Thanks to all for your prayers and for
your patience with me. About 185 men
attended from all over the diocese.
Dr. Ray Guarendi lived up to
his billing and more. It was one of
the best Men’s Conference that we’ve had yet from the perspectives of both
the diocese and our parish. May we
have even a better turnout next year.
May both the diocesan Men’s Conference and the Women’s Conference
becomes a Lenten tradition.
