As
part of a mission, the RCC of Peru invited Father Kevin Scallon
and Sr. Briege McKenna to lead the 4th National Retreat for
religious and the II International Retreat for priests. The
former was attended by some 50 religious, and the latter by
115 priests from Peru and other countries. The theme of both
retreats was “Renew the fire of your first Love.”
In addition, they preached at a General Day on the 22nd of January
at Callao's Port, to
an audience of 7000 people. The venue was filled to capacity
and so many brothers were no able to enter. The Lord did not
disappoint anyone! |

Letter
of thanksgiving from Al and Patti Mansfield, New Orleans
In
spite of our loss of home and CCRNO office because the Katrina
hurricane in September 2005, the Lord made it possible for
us to sponsor our annual large Holy Spirit Regional Retreats
in the last two weeks.
Rejoice with us! 400 teens and young adults on the theme "The
Church Is Alive! The Church Is Young" (words of Benedict
XVI) and then 680 women this past weekend. The
women came from 10 states and were extremely open to the grace
of God. We want the suffering of our region to have a good
purpose for our brethren around the world. Thanks to ICCRS
President and Director and all the ICCRS friends for your
generous support. I pray that St. Joseph is hearing your prayer
for the financial needs of ICCRS as well. |

Over
the last few years there has been a very positive development
of parish based Life in the Spirit Seminars in Canada. Starting
on the West Coast, the seminars have been run as parish missions
and this format has now spread to other parts of Canada with
the approval of a number of Bishops. Many new prayer groups
have been started from these seminars.
This is yet another positive move of the Spirit as we seek to
be faithful to the great commandment. |
