2nd Grade Retreat Information for volunteers

Good Afternoon 2nd Grade Parents!

As you know the 2nd grade retreat will be taking place on Thursday February 25th from approximately 8:30 am to 2:00pm and will be here at Saint Bernadette.  We will be meeting very briefly this Thursday morning at 8:00 at the Parish Center Office (near front entrance to Church) to review the retreat plan and begin moving forward with our own planning.

MANY volunteers are needed to make this special day a success for our children as we walk beside them in their journey to grow in their relationship with our Saviour.

Peace in Christ,
