Dear Friends,
As everyone knows, we have a wonderful Parish Staff!
As I write this early in the week, I am looking forward to and will be blessed this coming Friday, February 7, to be with Anne Gallagher and Karen Luke as they bring some of our phenomenal youth together at Notre Dame Retreat House. Gathering in the beautiful environment of Canandaigua Lake, Anne and Karen are hosting a Search Retreat.
This is a wonderful opportunity for our young people to gather with one another for relaxation, prayer, conversations and to hear their peers give some wonderful talks/presentations.
The theme for this year’s Search Retreat is “There is Another in the Fire.” After dinner on Friday (the Retreat House always serves great food), the retreat will begin with a welcome, introductions, setting expectations and introducing the theme that will encompass the days together. This gathering will certainly be a special time for meeting new people and having the opportunity to explore ones faith and spirit!
I will be blessed by presiding at mass for everyone this very evening! Please keep all our participants in your prayers. Our adult staff and volunteers, Anne Gallagher, Karen Luke and Devon VanVechten, will be with teens Audrey, Baily, Cassidy, Danica, Elizabeth, Grace, Julia, Keaton, Lillian, Ryan, Sarah, Violet and William.
I cannot wait to be with everyone and explore “There is Another in the Fire.”
Blessings,
Father Rob
PS—And, this Tuesday evening, I was with Anne and our Youth Group for their weekly session! God is good!!!
