What can we learn from St. Monica, who displayed great strength and faith, praying for thirty years that her husband and son (St. Augustine) would embrace the Catholic faith after choosing a different path? Our adult children sometimes drift away from the practice of faith. This day retreat offers strength to continue praying and growing stronger in the virtue of hope. Several women who belong to a prayer group whose children have chosen a different path for now will lead this day retreat from 9-3 p.m., and will include a light meal and mass.
