Men's Group Retreat

CHANGE OF DATE! The Men’s Group is holding a full-weekend retreat the first weekend in August (rather than in July), and there’s still time to join us! It will now be the weekend of August 1-3 at the Mary and Joseph retreat center in Rancho Palos Verdes (https://www.maryjoseph.org). The cost is $425 for a shared room and $545 for a single room. This registration fee covers lodging Friday and Saturday evening and all meals from Friday's dinner until Sunday's lunch. A $100 deposit can be made on the church’s website, under “giving." Please let us know of your interest as soon as possible, but by June 30 at the latest. You can email Jim Stewart at jestew@ucla.edu or alanheppel@icloud.com. We look forward to your fellowship!
