This experience brings together people and families of all ages and stages of faith to deepen our relationship with Christ. It is a unique way to experience prayer through praise and worship music. It will also be a time for us to slow down and be in the presence of Jesus through Eucharistic Adoration and to have the opportunity to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation.

Are you looking for new ideas serve others? On Saturday, February 23rd, the Missionary Discipleship Institute is hosting an event at the Cousins Center in Milwaukee: "Cultivating a heart for the last, the lost, the least, and the lonely" with Margaret Rhody.

For those of you who don't know Margaret, she has been instrumental in getting small groups going at our parish, as well as helping host other discipleship events. She'll also be involved with Arise this Saturday! She is a very dynamic speaker. I am looking to get a group together to attend this even together. We will meet at Holy Apostles at 7:45 am and carpool to the Cousins Center. We will return by 2:00 pm. Lunch will be provided, and Holy Apostles will cover your registration costs. All you need to do to sign-up is to use this link. It can also be found on our webpage www.hanb.org, under the "Upcoming Events" tab. Once we have a final number, I will take care of the rest of details. Sign-up closes on Friday, February 15th so that they can have an accurate count for lunch. Feel free to contact me (Phil Stepanski—pstepanski@hanb.org) with

any further questions, and I truly hope you'll consider joining me for this powerful event!!
