FROM DARKNESS TO LIGHT St. Vincent Catholic Charities is proud to partner with the Michigan Catholic Conference for From Darkness to Light: Human Trafficking & Our Response. Human traf-ficking is a growing crime that violates the fundamental rights and the dignity of women, children and men. On Saturday, February 11, attendees of the conference will learn more about the issue of human trafficking, organi-zations that work to combat the crime, and ways they can make an impact in awareness efforts. You can complete the required registration at www.micatholic.org/fromdarknesstolight/. Contact [email protected] or 517-316-3588 with questions.
RETREAT FOR DIVORCED CATHOLICS February 10-12, 2017 at St. Francis Retreat Center in DeWitt. This warm and uplifting event is less about the daily details of your life–or the devastation of your di-vorce–than it is a special time to draw close to Our Lord. Drawing from the story of the Samaritan woman who en-counters Christ at Jacob’s well, this event recognizes that after divorce people are much more aware of the deep thirst that needs quenching … particularly in all their relationships. Included in the weekend is a fun wel-come and introduction, talks, helpful exercises, small group breakouts, quiet time for reflection, meals, a full-length movie, and more. The Sacrament of Reconcilia-tion will be available. To register, go to www.stfrancis.ws/upcoming-retreats.html
