Heads Up! Sursum Corda: Day of Recollection

Heads up!  Mark your calendars!

I would like to announce in advance that for the month of March, Sursum Corda will be hosting a Day of Recollection for all young Catholic adults ages 18 - 35.  This is the perfect opportunity for to renew our Lenten spirit as we continue to prepare for Easter.

The retreat will be held at St. Francis de Sales Oratory midway through Lent on Saturday, March 21st  9am - 2pm.  The retreat will include:

• Conference by the Institute Canons
• Adoration
• the Rosary
• opportunities for Confession
• a Solemn High Mass at 12pm for the Feast of St. Benedict.
• Concluding with lunch and the opportunity for Catholic fellowship following the Mass.

**An RSVP will be necessary by March 16th for those who plan on attending lunch so that we can accurately plan and provide food.  Please expect the cost to be between $10 - $15 per person, but will depend on the amount of people attending.

A detailed schedule and cost information will follow soon.  Keep your eyes peeled!

February Sursum Corda: Arch Grounds

For the month of February, we will be meeting on Saturday the 21st with a historical trip to St. Louis' very own National Monument:  The Gateway Arch, of course.  Whether you are an out-of-towner, one of those St. Louisan's, or just enjoy a good outing with Catholic friends - you'll have a great time!

We will start the day off with 8am Mass, followed by breakfast in the convent and Canon Todd's final conference in the History of the Holy Mass series.  As usual, if those attending would please volunteer to bring food for breakfast (bagels, juice, cereals, other small dishes, ect) it would be much appreciated.  Let me know what you are bringing by e-mailing sursumcordastlouis@gmail.com. 

Following breakfast, we will drive (carpool, if possible) to the Arch grounds to take a look at the newly renovated Old Cathedral and visit the Westward Expansion Museum underneath the Arch (please note we do not have plans to go up the Arch). 

Bring your historical knowledge and your friends!  All young adults ages 18 - 35 are welcome!

Hope to see y'all there!

Announcement Regarding Future Sursum Corda Meetings

For a very long time, it has been mentioned that having Sursum Corda events planned on a particular weekend of the month would be very helpful for attendance. 

So, I am pleased to announce that starting in January 2015, Sursum Corda meetings will be held consistently on the 3rd Saturday of the month. 

If (for various reasons) the 3rd Saturday can't be scheduled, then we will forfeit meeting for that month.  All will be advised.

Mark your calendars and keep your 3rd Saturdays free!  Hope to see y'all soon!
