Email from Andy:
I wanted to invite you to a men’s retreat being put together by some guys from St. Bridget and being hosted by Father Brian Capuano at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Petersburg. There are two weekends available at either:
· Friday January 22 – Saturday January 23, 2020
OR
· Friday February 5 – Saturday February 6.
The program is still being put together but we expect to arrive in the mid-afternoon on Friday, with a mass that evening, and dinner on your own. We have a block of hotel rooms available at a set price at a bed and breakfast right near the church (limited capacity) and at a 2nd national chain hotel about 10 minutes away. The program on Saturday will start after breakfast (at the hotel), with a morning program, boxed lunch served, afternoon program, and finishing with a mass.
St. Joseph is about 40 minutes from St. Bridget and so if you feel uncomfortable staying overnight you can also drive to both days. Further, if you feel as if you can only attend one of the days you can do that too.
Costs will be about $75, which includes $50 for St. Joseph for hosting us, lunch on Saturday, waters, snacks and other minor costs for handouts and the like. An inability to pay will never be an issue for those who find it hard to make this payment as we already have a benefactor who will cover those costs for those that cannot.
Space is limited so we can follow the Diocesan Covid-19 protocols. Masks will be required during the programs. We will only have 15-20 spaces each weekend, so if you are interested at all, please email Andy at acondlin@rothjackson.com with your name, email, cell phone, address and which weekend (or which day you would like to attend). We will provide additional information in a few weeks and collect the fee at that time as well.
Fr. Brian Capuano has been pastor of St. Joseph since 2012. He concurrently serves as the Vicar for Vocations and a Judge in the Marriage Tribunal. He previously served as parochial vicar at St. Bridget Catholic Church, Richmond.
Please feel free to forward this email to anyone interested
Thank you for your patience as we continue to put together the program but we wanted to get the date out as soon as possible for folks to get it on their calendar. If you have any questions at all you can reach Andy at 804-977-3373.
