THE PARISH RETREAT AT EASTERN POINT IN GLOUCESTER is scheduled for June 4th – 6th.
We
are aware that this month is a particularly busy one for people. If you are interested in

opportunity for personal renewal and refreshment.
In particular, if you have never
experienced a retreat or if it’s been a long time since your last one, we especially invite you to join us. The
cost of the weekend is $200 with all meals included.
