Afternoon Retreat

 During Lent, we were able to gather for an afternoon/evening of retreat.  Starting after school we had shared spiritual reading, Stations of the Cross and the Chaplet of Our Sorrowful Mother, quiet time in chapel and outside, and finished up with a pizza dinner.  Everyone agreed it was a great opportunity to reflect and prepare for the last weeks of Lent in union with Our Lady~

Our Lady of Lourdes

 Here in Spokane, we had beautiful weather on Our Lady's feastday, and were able to have a rosary procession to our very own Lourdes Grotto!  

Farewell, and Good Luck, Rachel!

 We had a celebration to wish our fellow Sodalist, Rachel, the best of luck as she prepared to enter religious life. 

Pray for us, Rachel!  We are so proud of you and we will all be praying for you!
