Announcement from The Institute for Pastoral Theology...
LENTEN DAY OF REFLECTION - March 26, 2011 (9 am - 4:30 pm)
The Institute for Pastoral Theology and the national Marian Catechist Apostolate are jointly hosting a daylong retreat at the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe on March 26, 2011 in LaCrosse, WI. In addition to Mass, confession, and adoration, three reflections on the theme of redemptive suffering will be presented by Professors Douglas Bushman and Ben Nguyen. There will also be an information session on the IPT.
This will be a great opportunity for a spiritually and theologically nourishing Lenten mini-retreat. The event is free and open to the public, so please plan to attend and spread the word to those who may be interested in a Lenten retreat or who are interested in learning more about the IPT. Lunch ($10) is available for purchase by calling Terry Knothe in the Marian Catechist office at 608-782-0011. Click here for more information.

The social will start at 5:30 pm at Culina Mariana (the Shrine’s restaurant) followed by a buffet dinner.

You can bet I'll be there...Shrine, IPT, the opportunity for quiet reflection, and time with my hubby!
Thanks for taking my call today! I hope it will work out that we can attend, too. I haven't had the opportunity to go to the Shrine yet and really would like to make the trip.
