It consists of a series of gatherings with other adults who are also interested in learning more about God’s love in the Catholic Church.

Once you fill out the registration form you can either print it out and mail it to my attention or you can do a "Save As" and email me back the completed form.

LIGHT OF THE WORLD
None of us really “owns” any of our time. It all belongs to God. So make a small return to Him with some of your time. The people that will be with you on the retreat are fellow parishioners. The entire team that will put on the retreat are St. Mary parishioners and priests. When you leave you will have many new friends you’ll recognize at Mass on Sunday. It’s right here in your own parish; you go home at night and sleep in your own bed. There is no set cost–
there will be a free will donation taken at the end of the retreat.
So why not?…
Our next parish Light of the World retreat will be: November 12 - 15, 2021
For more information, visit https://www.lotwem.org/ or contact Shirley Allen, Director of Adult Faith Formation, at (224) 654-8596.

THAT MAN IS YOU
That Man Is You! is a men’s program that is spreading around the world and is truly changing
men and their families.
The program is unlike anything else that you’ve experienced. It tackles real issues facing real men. It looks at the leadership role that has been entrusted to men and addresses the temptations and struggles men face in a culture that attacks authentic manhood. Finally, it helps formulate a plan that allows men to overcome these obstacles.
The best way to judge a program is by its success. Men who’ve attended the program and have been Catholic their whole lives say this is the program they’ve been waiting for. They consider it a “home run”, saying it is hard to imagine how the program content could get any better. Priests say that it literally transforms men and saves marriages. It’s that powerful.
