For those making the retreat on-line: The homilies and retreat suggestions are published under the Year of Faith link on our website.

Confession is highly recommended during retreat. I encourage all our parishioners to take advantage of this  opportunity.

If you working toward a plenary indulgence during this Holy Year, a confession at this time would fulfill your oblligation along with the recitation of the Creed at the Baptismal Font. The talks during this retreat are a reflection on the Creed. Prayer should also be offered for the intention of our Holy Father, Benedict (Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory Be) to fulfill the remaining obligation.
