May 22, 2022, at Our Lady of Peace Retreat House:
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Happy New Year and Happy Feast Day!
Today, January 3rd, is the Feast of the Most Holy Name of Jesus. We are blessed to be members of the province that honors Jesus’ Holy Name. To be called to membership in this great province is not only a blessing, but a responsibility.
Our culture has the common practice of taking the name of Jesus in vain every day. The Lord hears this offense throughout the world and in innumerable ways. Together, let’s repair for these offenses, and bring joy to our Saviour’s heart, by reciting the Litany of the Most Holy Name of Jesus (see link below).
May the Holy Name of Jesus be praised!
Have a healthy, happy and holy 2022.
God bless you always,
Denise

Join us for all-night Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament to end abortion beginning at 7 PM on Tuesday, November 30 until 5:30 AM on Wednesday, December 1. By signing up for an hour (or two!), you’ll be joining Catholics across the country in Eucharistic adoration on December 1, when the Supreme Court hears the landmark pro-life case, Dobbs vs Jackson Women’s Health. Please note the doors will be locked so knock on the glass door at the side entrance to be let in! Sign up here or call 503-235-3163.
Many of you probably already got this email but I wanted to pass it on as this is a very important event for those of us who are concerned about the sanctity of human life at all stages. I think 8:00 p.m. eastern would be 5:00 p.m. our time.

Subject: Nov 18: Join Thousands in Prayer
 Next Week Pray for Dobbs: Historic Online Prayer Event Thursday, November 18 at 8:00 PM (EST) REGISTER Abortion takes the lives of over 600,000 babies per year in the United States. The upcoming Supreme Court case Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization is our greatest opportunity in a generation to change that. This is the case that could overturn Roe v. Wade—the Supreme Court decision that made abortion legal in all 50 states. Join this historic online gathering bringing together Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant Christians. Together, we will pray for a just outcome that protects millions of pre-born babies and their mothers. Jesus says, “where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them” (Mt 18:20). Join us!  *Registrants will receive periodic updates on the initiative.

Also,
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
I hope you are all doing well!
The Blessed Fra Angelico Chapter in Modesto is inviting you to virtually attend their Advent Retreat on Saturday, December 11th, from 9:30-10:45am PST.
The title of the retreat is “O, Come Let Us Adore Him” and the presenter will be Father Sebastian White, O.P., Editor-in-Chief of the Magnificat, and Editor of the The Magnificat Adoration Companion. Father Sebastian will share his thoughts and insights on Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. There will be time at the end for discussion.
****To request to register, please send an email to: bfacld.events@gmail.com. ***
This retreat sounds like a wonderful opportunity to meet Fr. Sebastian, especially since many of us enjoy reading the Magnificat. It is also a great opportunity to discuss the importance of Adoration. We have been encouraging all our members to increase their time in Adoration. When we spend time with Jesus we obtain transformative graces for ourselves, our loved ones, Church and world. We also console the Heart of Jesus, who sits alone in the tabernacle, watching the door, hoping for someone to visit Him.
May God always keep you in His Grace,
Denise
