Who could've ever imagined this year would look like it has? While there have been some real challenges, there have also been many graces. As a ministry leader, you have poured yourself into your parish and ministry, adapted to an ever changing world, and have been a source of hope for people in a crazy, unprecedented time.

It's now our turn to thank you for all you have done for the people of NE KS with a retreat just for you!! Seriously, when was the last time you were on a retreat that you got to just participate in and didn't plan? Mark your calendar now and plan to join us (in-person or virtually) for one day away! It will be so good for you and your parish will reap benefits by having a renewed and recharged ministry leader. (If needed, pray for the courage/opportunity to ask your pastor/boss to let you out of staff meeting just this once.)

Catholic musician, Steve Angrisano, will lead us through a day that will include talks, Mass, Confessions, Adoration, music, and more.

This is an open invitation to all in parish ministry and is free of charge. Please feel free to invite catechists, volunteers, core team members, co-workers or even your spouse.

We do ask for an RSVP so we can plan for food and supplies (although, a walk-in would never been turned away).

Details

Thursday, March 25th

9:30 am - 3:00 pm

@ Divine Mercy Parish

555 W. Main St

Gardner, KS 66030

or

Virtually: Via Zoom



Who: All Catechetical Leaders - D/CREs, Youth Ministers or anyone involved in parish ministry of children and youth.

COVID-19 Concerns:

In light of the present pandemic, not everyone is ready/able to venture out for an in-person event and that is perfectly understandable and acceptable. If you are unable to attend in-person (for any reason), we invite you to join us virtually! (Hooray for technology!)

For those attending in person, we ask that you wear a mask while inside parish facilities, maintain social distance and practice good hand hygiene. Sanitizer will be available throughout the day, though you may wish to bring your own.



Divine Mercy does have a room mister and the facilities will be cleaned before you arrive. They also have a large hall and ample space for us to social distance. They do not have a school. Lunch will be provided for in-person attendees. Picnic tables are available outside and can be used, weather permitting.

We look forward to seeing you on March 25th,

Pam Riordan & Rick Cheek
