Presented by Sr. Peggy Murphy, OP and TJ Murtagh
Come join in a weekend of reflection, connection and renewal. We will reflect together on the treasure of The Twelve Steps. "Then we can be set free to live and love; we may then be able to twelfth-step ourselves, as well as others, into emotional sobriety."
