to share your joy or support you in difficult times. We would like to
start putting in the bulletin the names of those who would like us to pray

The Graduate Student Fellowship will have its first meeting of the quarter

foundation for our lives. Please e-mail jhammen@stanford.edu for more
detail. All are welcome.

Catholic Bishops or the California Catholic
Conference (the policy arm
of the California dioceses). We can make a difference!
VALLOMBROSA RETREAT CENTER
Sacred Healing Retreat: "Your faith has healed you--go in peace":
Jesus has given us the secret and the power to heal ourselves, as well as
to heal our Earth. All we need to do is to find the key to access the
power! Come and learn this healing code to unlock the mysteries of the
radical message of Jesus: "The Kingdom of God is within you."
Using our own bodies as portals to the divine energy of God, we will
experience the interconnectedness of the chakras, the sacraments, the
gifts of the Holy Spirit and the beatitudes of Jesus, to become the
healing light of Christ to our world. This retreat will be offered in two
different ways:
A two hour session, once a week for six weeks beginning on April 1 and
concluding on May 13 (skip April 15). All six sessions need to be
attended in order to receive the real benefit.
A weekend retreat, May 23-25 (Friday evening through Sunday lunch). Joan
Prohaska, O.P., a Dominican Sister of Mission San Jose, will lead this
retreat experience.
Please call 650/325-5614 or visit our website for information or to
register.
