Dear Parishioners: How is your Lent progressing? Last Saturday we had 30 women enjoy a retreat here at St. Margaret's. They all left the gathering with smiles on their faces, so it must have been very good! On Saturday, APRIL 1, I will be presenting a day of recollection for the men of our parish. We will gather for coffee at 9:30 in the conference room, then I will give a presentation on how men relate to God and how God relates to men. Several spiritual directors have written about "male spirituality" recently and I hope to share some of their thoughts and my thoughts on this topic. Please sign up in the communication center or call the Parish Office (749-2542) by Tuesday, March 28th, so I can plan on food (lunch will be served around noon). The retreat will end with lunch. A free will offering will be taken up. Many thanks. God Bless You, Fr. Paul J. Alciati
