Family Retreat







This Lent, we attended another family retreat at Mother of the Redeemer Retreat Center. We all had a very wonderful and blessed time. The older kids were able to learn more about the Mass, the Eucharist, Confession, and the holy vessels used at Mass, while Dear Hubby and I attended the talks on the 5 Marian stones. It was very educational for all of us. I was a blessing to be there. The little girls were able to do some crafts such as making kites, wreaths, and book marks, as well as, putting stickers on the stations of the cross coloring booklets they made. There was something for everyone.
I feel especially blessed that there was a lovely woman named Donna who helped out with baby E. She held him during every meal and allowed me a little bit of time to enjoy my food. Thank God for such a holy place in this desert land of secularism!
