Embracing Our Call Retreat - Aug. 6-8, 2010

It's a tough world our there.  We sometimes get so blind-sided by the world that we lose track of where to find peace.  Well, it's time to register for our retreat.  We'll be studying "Mulieris Dignitatem" written by Pope John Paul II.  This papal document explores the Dignity and Vocation of Women.  A topic as timely now as when it was written 20 years ago.

If you attended last year, you will easily remember how blessed we were that weekend. This year, please bring a friend.

Registration for the whole weekend is $30. The speaker will again be Gina Bauer - you're gonna love her!

It will be at Corpus Christi, Fort Dodge, IA from August 6 to 8.  It is a continuation of last year but DO NOT PANIC!  You're not behind!   We will have a refresher session for last year's attendees and this year's first-timers. The weekend will begin with registration at 5 pm on Fri., Aug. 6.
A registration form can be downloaded at the Council of Catholic Women website.  Look for us on facebook, or email me for more info.

From the latest Globe article:

“Julie and I are really promoting this retreat,” said Streit [that would be Ellen, our DCCW pres]. “I feel that’s what we need – something positive about our vocation and our dignity. We could change this world around, but it’s going to take a lot of woman power.”

We hope you join us for study, friendship, sacraments, Mass with Bishop Nickless and we guarantee you'll refresh your soul.
