    INVITATION TO CONSECRATE OUR PARISH TO OUR BLESSED MOTHER

In celebrating the upcoming 100th Anniversary of Our Lady of Fatima, I want to invite you
to participate in A Do-It-Yourself Retreat, leading you to the Heart of Jesus through Mary. 

Using the book 33 Days to Morning Glory, by Fr. Michael Gaitley, you will easily be guided thru the best Marian teachings of St Louis de Montfort, St Maximilian Kolbe, St. Teresa of Calcutta and St Pope John Paul II.  This book is presented simply, clearly and in a conversational style, therefore easy to read. 

In our days when spiritual stakes have never been higher, many have said that their lives were not the same after this consecration.

We will begin on September 10, and end with the Consecration on October 13, 2017,the 100th Anniversary of Our Lady of Fatima.

This book can be accessed online on our parish subscription to FORMED.  We also have available books in the back of Church in the display, for a $5.00 donation.

This retreat may be the best spiritual exercise you have ever done for yourself, your family, your parish and our world.   May God bless.

Feel free to share!

Your companion in service,

Debbie Green
