September is a busy month with lots of changes taking place. All the kids are back at school, summer is winding down and fall is around the corner! We can look forward to the splendid colors of fall, rustling leaves, apple orchards, and a brisk walk in the park to awaken our spirits to all that's new and waiting for us to explore!

The month of September holds one of my most favorite feasts which is The Feast of St. Michael, the archangel on September 29th. St. Michael is the guardian of heaven and earth, and our protector against evil. We need to acknowledge St. Michael more than ever now. Our world is in such turmoil and cannot survive mediocrity from us any longer. This battle against good and evil involves all of us. People have to care and stand for the good so that positive change can take place. Is it so difficult to take some time and pray? To be kind to one another? To not let jealousy rule your actions? When you are challenged the next time, try to remember to not take it so personally. For if we remember in scripture we know that our battle is not against each other, but against the spiritual forces of darkness. If you are not familiar with the St. Michael Prayer, then here it is for you:

St. Michael, the archangel, defend us in battle

Be our protection against the wickedness & snares of the devil

May God rebuke him we humbly pray.

And do thou Oh Prince of the Heavenly Host cast into hell,

satan and all the evil spirits who wander about the world

seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

Come and join us for the Rosary Breakfast on Saturday, September 28 th where our talk will be on St. Michael, the archangel. We will also remember our other two wonderful archangels, St. Raphael, medicine of God and St. Gabriel, God's messenger and protector of families. We need to be aware of and call upon our holy angels every day. 

Enjoy reading the rest of this newsletter which is full of events, trips, retreats and pilgrimages to lift your spirits. Hope to see you soon.

WOMEN'S OCEAN RETREAT!

OCTOBER 4, 5 & 6, 2013

A beautiful property has been secured for our annual women's weekend retreat! This is a private waterfront cottage in an exclusive area on the ocean harbor with lighthouse and island views. Located on a quiet tidal cove in the small fishing village of Cape Porpoise, it remains part of Kennebunkport without the hustle and bustle of the beautiful but busy down- town area. Pier and water access for kayak, or canoe owners too!

This retreat promises rest, renewal and refreshment from the daily noise and busyness of our lives. Kennebunkport is gorgeous in early fall with color splashes everywhere. We will be less than 2 miles to the famous Dock Square for shopping, the Franciscan Monastery and your choice of 3 beautiful beaches to stroll.

The total cost for the Women's Weekend Retreat is $350.00. This includes 3 days, two overnights and 5 gourmet meals. A well planned retreat schedule will be shared upon registration. A $200.00 deposit is required to hold your spot. Final payment due 2 weeks before departure.

Space is limited and is accommodated by first come, first serve. So call me soon to reserve! Join us for a wonderful, spirit filled retreat where we can relax, refresh and renew!

March 2013 Newsletter

   

The Angel Connection A Ministry of Faith, Hope & Love 508-320-3498   MARCH 2013 NEWSLETTER     Hello Everyone!   The seasons are about to change and with that an opportunity to refresh and renew. As I open with this topic, I want to share some of the ways that I plan on refreshing and renewing this growing ministry. Proverbs 29:18 teaches us ,"where there is no vision, the people perish; but when they attend to what GOD reveals, they are most blessed."   I have been blessed to be able to run The Angel Connection for over 18 years. As with all productive ministries, there comes a time where a review of business function is necessary in order to continue moving forward in a positive way. I have been trying my best to follow the Spirit of God through the years. The Women's Rosary breakfast was born almost 10 years ago as a positive addition to the ministry. We have been reaching out and connecting with women from various towns, cities and states, sharing hope and inspiration along the way. It has been such a joy and blessing to connect with all of you in sharing our faith and friendship.   As we continue to grow, we will look forward to enjoying more guest speakers, scheduled trips and various events to uplift our spirits. I wait expectantly and faithfully for the Lord to bless me with a Spiritual Center where all of the various programs that The Angel Connection offers can be housed in one place. Investors are welcome ! I do have a business plan ready and waiting. Now there's a vision...What a blessing that would be!   I hope to continue as well as to enhance the beautiful relationship we have had thus far and look forward to many more years of connecting with you! Until we meet again, may God's holy angels keep you and yours surrounded in love, peace, joy and protection. God bless, Love, Marge   A PARISH LENTEN RETREAT   "He Heals All Our Pain" Saturday ~ March 16, 2013 Beginning with Holy Mass @ 8:00 a.m. Teachings by Guest Speaker, Rev.

We'll slip into the power of prayer through the recitation of the rosary and entrust our troubles to God. Your spirit will be filled with peace and your heart feeling lighter as we join together in prayer. Jesus tells us, "where two or more are gathered in my name, there am I, in the midst of them."
