As we commemorate the 800th anniversary of the Canticle of Creation, as well as the feast day of St. Bonaventure on July 15, we will share the timeless treasure of their spirituality, continuing to give us nourishment for today.$15 per person for the entire series; please register online at shalomretreats.org or by calling 563.582.3592 by noon on Thursday, July 3.
