News and Events: Fiat and Ignite Your Torch

Happy 4th of July! We are back from our retreat and ready to continue to do God's will.  There are a couple of trips that the sisters will be making this week.  We hope to see you at these events if you are nearby. If not, please pray for safe travels and that the young people who attend will be inspired to grow in their union with God.

One of the highlights of the summer for the sisters is the annual Ignite Your Torch retreat.  It is a Catholic Youth Conference and it is always a good time.  Sister Cecilia and Sister Elizabeth Ann will be attending.  Sister Elizabeth Ann will be giving a talk again this year.  At the last moment they had to change the venue but St. Anthony 'found' Ignite Your Torch a new home.  The people at Ignite do a wonderful job inspiring the youth and teaching them about the faith.

Sister Patricia Jean and Sister Mary Faustina will be attending the Fiat Retreat in the Harrisburg Diocese.  Our good friend, Bishop Gainer, invited our community to participate.  This will be the second year we have attended.  The sisters were so impressed that we are trying to get a similar event in our Diocese.

I hope you have a great summer.  Relax, enjoy yourself and don't forget to put God first in your summer plans.  Then you will not only be refreshed physically but spiritually as well.
