Celebrate another Patrick this March 17th, as we learn of the remarkable true-life story of Venerable Patrick Peyton. Miraculously healed of tuberculosis through prayer, Father Peyton spent his entire life, with the help of iconic celebrities of Hollywood, encouraging families to pray the Rosary. There is no cost to attend this Lenten Day of Recollection; however, it is a ticketed event. Registration opens on February 10th. Click HERE to register. Bring your own packed lunch or pre-order and prepay $20.00 for a boxed lunch when registering for your ticket online. Lunch options include your choice of either grilled chicken sandwich with lettuce & tomato or roast beef & American cheese with lettuce & tomato, with a banana, cookie, bag of chips, and water bottle. The deadline to order lunch is Monday, March 10th. Lunch payment is non-refundable but is transferrable to another person
