Behold, An Angel of the Lord 
Friday, October 18 at 5:30pm – Sunday, October 20 at 4:30pm 
When God through the incarnation became man in Jesus Christ, the relationship between humans and angels changed. Angels still have the superior nature, but we have been given the grace of a more intimate friendship with God, a sharing in God’s divinity, through grace, that even the angels don’t enjoy. During this retreat, Christ’s Peace House of Prayer will be using Fr. Pascale Parente’s book, “The Angels: In Catholic Teaching and Tradition” to explore how God wants the angels to be involved in our Christian journey, and what role they are called to play in the dramatic history of our salvation. There will be conferences, spiritual direction, Eucharistic Adoration, Mass, Confession and time for private prayer, reflection and walking. To attend, fill out the Retreat Form at ChristsPeace.com or call 913.773.8255. 
 
Mass of the Innocents

Whether or not you have personally experienced this loss, you are welcome to come commemorate these little ones and offer prayerful support to their families. Light refreshments to follow mass.
