Restoring Hope:
A Weekend Retreat for Women
September 10 - 12, 2010

Thea Loughery and Sarah Compton join us again in another Elijah House Ministries / IHRC healing connection. Last year's popular Women's Healing Retreat brought wholeness to many. The combination of the Sacraments and the Scriptural keys for healing, brought through the help of these experienced Elijah House speakers and prayer ministers, resulted in hearts being healed and set free.
Anne & Karen

Healing is necessary for us to move forward in our faith and the fullness of love that God wants us to be able to practice in our ministry and our universal call to holiness!
The cost of the retreat is $170 or $100 for commuters.

Days of Prayer

Women as Types of Christ:
Traditions of the Church Fathers
Wednesday, September 15

Dr. Catherine Tkacz of Gonzaga University will explain for us through meditative Anne & Karen

typology, the profiles of eight different women in the Old and New Testaments as types of Christ. Since all are called to become Christ-like, it is important and fascinating to recognize what the Church distinguishes in the truth that Scripture clarifies.

Day of Prayer for Lectors:
PR4: Prayerful, Powerful,
Preparation for Proclamation
Fr. Rory Pitstick
Saturday, October 2

Do you want to become a better lector? This Day of Prayer will assist participants to Anne & Karen

grow in knowledge and familiarity with the Sacred Scriptures, reflect on the privileged role of the lector in proclaiming anew the Word of the Lord, recognize and capitalize on resources God provides to help reverently incarnate His Word, and learn effective techniques from practical experience. Come to Father's expert instructional conference for lectors!

Days of Prayer begin with the rosary, contain two conferences, and include lunch, Mass and the sacrament of reconciliation. The cost of the Day of Prayer is $30 per person, with an additional $10 charge if one wants a bedroom for the day.
