This year Several Sources Shelters is celebrating 40 years of service. This pro-life organization serves women who seek to give God’s blessed gift of life to their babies.  They provide sonogram services, housing, education, coordinated social services and continued supplemental support until the child reaches 18 years old.  In lieu of their annual visit to our church they are requesting donations.  If you'd like to be a child's guardian angel here on earth, you can donate at SeveralSources.org/donate.

The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius - In the “Spiritual Exercises” you will pray with the life, passion, and resurrection of Jesus Christ using scriptures designated by St. Ignatius of Loyola, a 16th-century Spanish priest, theologian, and founder of the Society of Jesus helping participants to discern the will of God in their lives, deepening a personal commitment with Jesus.  The Retreatant meets with a spiritual director each week to process their prayer.  Please call by October 14.  Orientation is necessary.  Anna Graziano (973) 338-9538

“Clothed in Christ: A Weekend Retreat for Women”  -- Paul, in his letter to the Ephesians, urged the fledgling community there to ‘put on the whole armor of God.’  What is the armor in our own ‘spiritual clothes closet’ these days?  Using the wisdom from our Christian tradition and our own experience as women, we will first probe what we might need to shed, freeing ourselves from anything that prevents us from claiming our identity as Beloved Daughters.  We will then explore what it means to ‘stand naked’ before God.  With women’s bodies, how do we claim the power of being beautifully and wonderfully made?  Are we sufficient to love? Finally, as the Psalmist declares, what virtues will we choose to ‘deck ourselves in glad array’?  

Using Scripture study, stories, and shared conversation and prayer experiences, we will leave with a new commitment to our baptismal call to be clothed with the image of Christ — an answered call that girds us to go out to serve our families and communities with new vigor.

While we will not be following the format of the traditional Preached and Directed retreats this weekend, there will be ample opportunity for personal time spent in meditation, walking in our beautiful gardens, participating in the sacrament of Reconciliation, and a healing Mass, and sharing in the Sunday Mass together.  November 5-7 at the Loyola Retreat House.
