SMYA Day Retreat at the Franciscan Monastery

On Saturday, May 17th, SMYA will host its annual Day Retreat at the Franciscan Monastery near Catholic University. Our presenter is Fr. James Greenfield, and our topic is "Go in Peace to Love and Serve"- Liturgy as a Source of Strength. As you know, Fr. Greenfield is an excellent homilist, and last year's retreat was a huge success, so please consider joining us.
