FYI: My brother Neil is fighting with pancreatic cancer and I may have to leave as his health dictates. This info will be on the website so please check periodically as your retreat date approaches. Prayers much appreciated. Also if anyone would like to share in making these retreats happen as driver, welcomer, co-leader, logistics, I welcome your assistance.
