FAITH: THE DOOR TO COMMUNION WITH CHRIST
Overnight Retreat for Women
February 17 & 18, 2013
Camp Maria Retreat Center, Leonardtown, MD
February 17 & 18, 2013
Camp Maria Retreat Center, Leonardtown, MD
We pray that everyone enjoyed the retreat at Camp Maria. We were filled to capacity, praise God! (120+ women) and were blessed to have four additional priests who were able to join us for Confessions: Father Brian Sanderfoot, Father Pawel Sass, Father Dave Wells, and Father Zygmunt Kurzawinski. We thank them for their dedicated service to the Church, in particular, the parishes of Southern Maryland.
We would like to invite and encourage all retreatants to submit a "Retreat Feedback Form" to help us plan and organize future retreats. Thank you!
We also thank Pat Copsey and her amazing team of volunteers who transformed the summer camp into a beautiful spiritual sanctuary. Many hours of preparation and planning went into this retreat, and every detail was carried out with much grace and inspiration. If you are ever in the Leonardtown area, please stop in to see Pat and her staff at Heavenly Presents Gifts and Book Store, located in Leonardtown Square. She has the perfect gifts for First Holy Communion and Confirmation, and a large selection of jewelry, statues, and spiritual books as well.

**NEW** Information about the Divine Mercy CD
Many of you have inquired about the Divine Mercy song we played in between some of Father's talks. It is available on CD at Amazon.com and probably other retailers as well:

Trish Short (Performer), Michael Bethea (Performer), Crystal Yates (Performer) | Format: Audio CD
There is also at least one YouTube video that we are aware of with the same version of the song. Just beautiful!
