I am just finishing my annual retreat which is part of my class for Spiritual Direction Training. This is taking place in the Chicago area. I will finish my retreat early on Monday, October 6. Than I will travel back to the Diocese and attend the annual Clergy Conference which is being held in Two Harbors. I will return to the parishes late on Thursday, October 9. Please pray for the end of my retreat and for all the clergy of the Diocese of Duluth who will be at the Clergy Conference. Thank you.
Remember that RCIA will start on Sunday, October 19th after Mass at 10:30am at OLS. There will also be a Bible Study at STM starting on Tuesday, October 21 at 6:30pm with a potluck. These two will be lead by me. And on Tuesday, October 21 at 1pm, Carolyn Kaczor will be leading a Bible Study at OLS. I have done each of the Bible Studies before and have lead RCIA. I recommend them all. The Bible Timeline is an excellent way to get to know the Bible. I highly, highly recommend doing it!!!!
A special thank you to Fr. Brian Lederer who is the associate in Hibbing who is covering our weekend Masses. Fr. Brian is originally from Wisconsin, but please don’t hold it against him if he is a Packer Fan.
