Year of Faith RETREAT


The St. Vincent de Paul Conference at St. Benedict’s Parish

cordially invites you to take one day to reflect upon a

Year of Faith


Pope Benedict XVI declared a “Year of Faith” in his Apostolic Letter entitled, Porta Fidei.
 

This special year of prayer and devotion will begin on October 11, 2012

to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the Second Vatican Council

and the 20th anniversary of the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
 

During the Year of Faith, Catholics are asked to study

and reflect on the documents of Vatican II

and the Catechism to deepen their knowledge

and understanding of the faith.


Please join Deacon Bill Hynes for a one day retreat

devoted to helping us make the most out of this special year!
