This is just a reminder about this Thursday’s Women of St. John’s meeting at which our guest speaker, Laraine Bennett, will talk on “The Gift of Temperament: How Understanding Temperament Helps Us Appreciate One Another and Grow in Virtue.”  We hope you can join us for the rosary at 7PM in the Adoration Chapel, followed by the meeting and lecture at Padre Pio Hall.  Mrs. Bennett will have a vending table at which her books and materials will be available for sale.

If you are able to bring a snack or dessert to share at the meeting, you can drop it off at Padre Pio Hall between 6:30 – 6:45 prior to the rosary.  Thank you!
