Adult Mini-Retreats / enrichment with Mike Patin February 25, 2023

Re-kindle your love for the Eucharist and re-center your lives on Him.

  • Rural outreach offers Fall Kickoff as well as spring semester Adult Enrichment opportunities each year. 
  • For the opportunities that include invite all adults from the parish, grants are offered based on rural parish attendance. RYMO sets aside a certain amount and it’s divided by # of attendees. Parishes have earned several hundred dollars with effort given to inviting parishioners who care about kids.
  • We ask that grant money be used for the youth of the parish – however the pastor and youth leader see fit.
  • For February 25th evening session, St. Teresa, Westphalia offers a 6 pm Mass (just 20 min from Burlington) if anyone is interested in combining the evening with Mass.

  • No RSVP required. Come as you are. All are welcome (non-rural parishioners always welcome)
