CLEMMONS — The Columbiettes’ Bishop Greco Council 9499 hosted its annual Lenten Retreat March 19 for women of Holy Family Parish, led by Sister Betty Paul, S.P., and Sister Katherine Francis French, S.P. Attendees opened the day-long retreat with a remembrance and honor for St. Joseph on his feast day.
By reading and discussing scriptures, they reflected on the example of the saint as supporter of the Holy Family.
After lunch, the women continued with the theme “In the Image of God: The Joy of Living a Life in God.” The final part of the program was: “Women of God: Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow.”
All women present enjoyed the retreat and time together, and many were brought to tears of joy.
