Our Everyday Heroes
Executive Director, Karen Zengel
Helpful. Persistent. Committed. Amazing. Inspiring.

Northern Kentucky October Retreat
Location: St. Anne Retreat Center
Date: Saturday, October 13, 2018
Time: 9 AM to 4 PM (Lunch will be provided)
The focus will be on the Vincentian and our individual journeys to grow in holiness. The theme will be centered on setting aside judgment, our pride, and self-focus in favor of God’s love. Mark’s gospel – and particularly the readings from that Sunday and during that time in the liturgical year – will help to form the conversation. The retreat will include Mass, adoration, and time for confessions.
To sign up contact Deacon Mike Lyman via text, call (859)806-4440 or email deaconmikelyman1@gmail.com
Include name, phone, email and conference.
Join us for a spiritually focused day!
