Dear loved ones of the first leadership conference for Marian Mantle,

I welcome you to this conference at Sanctuary of Hope Prayer and Retreat Center.

This will be an excellent opportunity for you to renew your strength, faith and love to continue helping others pray and await the return of their prodigals to the Faith.

As I have told MaryAnn Gardner, many times, I am so impressed with this ministry because you invite people freely to reflect on God's personal invitation for their return, especially through the intercession of Our Lady of Sorrows. I know that the most loving actions we ever do are the ones we do in freedom.

Do enjoy our 33 acres of beauty and trails and our 114 year old building, even with the creeks in the hard wood floors and distinctive character everywhere. Come and sit in our chapel before the Blessed Sacrament and just open your being to God.

Do enjoy some of our homemade cookies and enjoy the vistas of sitting in the outdoors, gardens and flowers.

Welcome!

Love, prayers and gratitude, In the love of Jesus,

Fr. Dennis Wait, SOH Spiritual Director
