COURAGEOUS Movie at St. Patrick

We have NO MEETING this weekend. So, if you are looking for soemthing to do, you might wish to consider this:

St. Patrick parish in Brighton will be showing the film Courageous downstairs in McCann Hall on two separate days this week. In case you were unaware, Holy Spirit held a showing of the film when we were out of town on our retreat. Here is another convenient opportunity to enjoy it.

While you are there, invite some dads and boys to our ConQuest club!

Here are the details:
Location: St. Patrick's McCann Hall (in the parish basement) www.stpatchurch.org
Times: Thursday March 22nd at 7:00PM & Friday March 23rd (immediately following the 7:00PM Stations of the Cross)
Suggested donation: $5 individual and $10 for couple/family
I was informed that refreshments will be provided.
This film is recommended for ages 13 and up, but use your own discretion.http://www.decentfilms.com/reviews/courageous

Next ConQuest Meeting - Friday March 16th

Please note the the LOCATION FOR THIS MEETING HAS BEEN CHANGED TO HOLY SPIRIT PARISH!

We will begin at 7:00 PM in the church nave to pray the Stations of the Cross. This is our last Friday meeting that is scheduled in Lent, so if you have not prayed the Stations yet, this will be the perfect opportunity!

Afterward, if the rain stays away, we hope to help Fr. John and his staff by clearing some of the winter debris from the parish grounds. Yes, it will be somewhat dark by then, so please try to send a flashlight with your boys for an interesting nighttime adventure! Work gloves and a rake would also be a good idea, if you have them. Using what we collect, we should even be able to have a decent bonfire! Temperatures are expected to be about 60 degrees on Friday evening.

  

We are looking forward to seeing you all on Friday night at Holy Spirit!

At Warren Dunes State Park on Lake Michigan

The boys are playing capture the flag in the forest atop the dunes.

Sacred Heart Retreat Underway!

The boys and dads are having a great time. Holy Mass and outstanding breakfast this morning.
Now we are off to Warren Dunes...

Last Call for Sacred Heart Overnight Retreat!

The group leaves this afternoon by 4:30PM for what promises to be a rewarding retreat!

Overnight Retreat: March 9-10, 2012

March 9-10 is almost here! Fathers and sons from our Conquest club are invited to stay overnight at Sacred Heart Apostolic High School's beautiful campus in Rolling Prairie, IN.

Packed into this short time will be plenty of opportunities for spiritual enrichment, recreation, and fun with friends. The tentative agenda has us arriving between 7:00-8:00 PM on Friday. That night will offer opportunities for sports in the gym and Evening Prayer in the chapel. Saturday will begin with Holy Mass. The remainder of the day will likely include some additional sports and a trip to the nearby dunes for a midday hike along the shores of Lake Michigan. We plan to return home early Saturday evening. 

 Please plan to join us!
