Together Family Retreat: This simple retreat for families is to be done at home, with activity choices that cater to older or younger children. The suggested date is Saturday, May 9, but feel free to schedule it on a day that works for you! Please note: some materials may need to be purchased in advance; see details in the Retreat Guide. Written and compiled by Andrew and Coreen Wagenbach from St. Paul, the retreat is dedicated to the renewal of family life. May each family use this time of uncertainty and quarantine together to rebuild and deepen the Domestic Church, the seedbed of saints and the hope to the world
