PARISH MALVERN MENS RETREAT WEEKEND IS April 28, 29 & 30, 2017
“MEETING JESUS: ONE IS NEVER THE SAME”
In today’s world of 24/7 sound bites, non-stop commercials, loud music and
the like, it can be difficult to hear the really important voices in our life.
Sometimes we just need a quiet, safe place where we can listen to our God
who knows us, loves us and wants to tell us what is best for us. The Malvern
Retreat House is such a place. Join the men of the parish the weekend of
April 28, 29, & 30, 2017 for their Malvern retreat. To learn more, call Frank
Strawser at 302-593-2362 or email [email protected]. For information
on retreats for men women, married couples and families visit our website at malvernretreat.com or call
610-644-0400.
God’s love for us is based on
His Perfection, not ours.

Office of Priestly and Religious Vocations
Diocese of Wilmington
In today’s gospel, Jesus raises Lazarus to new life.
Through their ministry and the way they live their
lives, God calls priests, deacons, religious sisters and
religious brothers to join in His work of breathing new
life into the Church. Is He calling you to participate in
this incredible undertaking? If you think so, call or
write Father Norm Carroll, Diocesan Director of
Priestly and Religious Vocations (302-573-3113; voca-
[email protected]). Be sure to visit our website:
www.cdow.org/vocations!
Ordination to Priesthood

MARRIAGE MOMENTS - Research indicates that the
average person listens for 17 seconds before interrupting.
Sometimes one spouse may be more long winded than the
other. Sometimes one hardly speaks at all. Pay attention to
your words this next week. Try to meet in the middle.
PARENTING POINTERS - Laughter can be healing. Does
your family have any stories about family foibles that get
repeated at family gatherings? It doesn't matter that it's
embarrassing; it becomes family mythology.
