What’s on the pope’s schedule for 2010? http://tinyurl.com/yfvmp39 1 day ago

James Gardiner, SA, on January 7th, 2009 at 7:29 pm Said:

We’re scheduling a series of Saturday morning “mini-retreats for busy people” based on the Modern Spiritual Masters series (Orbis); participants read a book a week, read it and come together for a presentation by someone who knows something about the “master” under consideration, mass and a lunch of homemade lenten soup, bread and tea. But first we’re observing the annual Week of Prayer for Christian Unity which originated here at Graymoor in 1908 (known initially as the Church Unity Octave).
