•        Clergy Retreat:

Please would you let me know, as soon as possible, if you are going to attend our Diocesan Clergy retreat, which will be held at La Verna Franciscan Retreat Centre, from 2^nd to 6th February 2009.  The price for the Retreat is R860-00 per person – cheques to be made out to “Diocese of the Highveld’.  All money to be paid to the Diocese at least one week before the Retreat begins, this makes it easier for the person co-ordinating this Retreat.  The Bishop of Horsham, Bishop Lindsay Urwin, will be conducting the retreat. I will need to give the final numbers to La Verna by the 23^rd January so please let me have your name by then so that we only pay for those attending. Thanks to those who have already given their names.  Margaret.
