11th Annual Communion of Heart Rosary Retreat
May 16-18, 2025
The Church and Our Lady desire that the life of Jesus be meditated upon so that all can more faithfully and conscientiously follow the path that God offers to all who seek Him with a sincere heart. The world today is too noisy and lacks meditation and contemplation. Join us as Father Todd Schneider, Pastor of the Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary – Morris, Minnesota, will lead us in a weekend Rosary Retreat.
