Extraordinary Time For A Parish Mission

Making time for ourselves to be refreshed and renewed!

LIVELY! HIGH ENERGY! Making time to take time!

On these gray January days and cold evenings, we may not feel lively or energetic. Perhaps we feel "down and out" or "in a funk."

That is why this is an extraordinary time for a Parish Mission at . Yes, from a church perspective, we are in "ordinary time," but our lives, families, and daily concerns are quite "extraordinary."

When was the last opportunity we took time for ourselves, doing something completely different?  Was it before the holidays we just celebrated?  During summer vacation?  Perhaps we've been so focused on work, school or the job search, that we haven't had any time to ourselves.

Well, now is our chance to take time, along with our Mission Director, Fr. Tom McCarthy, O.S.A. to experience renewal as individuals and a parish community.  Fr. Tom will speak at all Masses this coming weekend (01/28 to 01/29/12). Then, he will interact with us for three consecutive evenings from Sunday, January 29 to Tuesday, January 31 at 7:30 pm.

We will be on a treasure hunt with Fr. Tom as he speaks to us about "Sacraments: The Treasures of Our Faith."  We are cordially invited to come be refreshed and renewed.

Don't be shy.  Bring a friend or two.  Don't be blue.  Fr. Tom is coming here just for you!  (Check Bolingbrook Patch Weekend Events for more information.)
