ST. JOSEPH MEN'S WORK WEEKEND #1

FRI-SAT, April 21-22 | Come for our first 2-day weekend and help with our retreat center. We will start work early on Friday each weekend and finish whatever we are working on Saturday evening (we don't work on Sundays here), so you have the option of driving home Saturday evening or staying over and going to Mass with us on Sunday, whatever works out best for you. As always, there is no registration fee for the weekend and meals are provided. I need a solid RSVP so I can plan jobs and meals. I am currently developing a list for this year's work weekends.
