25 + St. Vincent
de Paul Church in the Msgr. Jamail Family Center Room 208 +

I'm hoping some of our ladies will attend this retreat at St Thomas More so that we will have more SVDP women available to help when we sponsor our retreat. Registration forms are at the SVDP Church Office front desk.
St. Vincent de Paul Women’s ACTS Retreat April 3rd-6th, 2014
We are going to host our very own Women’s Acts retreat! If you cannot attend the St. Thomas More retreat, you’re in luck, because we are having our own!
