  Oct. 16-18, 2020 (Friday to Sunday)	Retreat: Living our Faith During COVID-19 Come in-person or join us from home! Periods of suffering and death often lead to a multitude of questions.  Why does God allow such suffering?  Is it a punishment of some sort?  How do we avoid spiritual discouragement during such times?  Can the pandemic actually lead to a deepening of our faith?  Fr. Mark Yavarone, OMV will address these questions during this weekend retreat.  Mass is offered each day and Confessions are available.  Cost is $300 for the weekend with private room; $195 with shared room.
