Dear Friend of La Salette,
We’re excited to announce that we are participating in #iGiveCatholic on #GivingTuesday, our nation’s first-ever Catholic day of ON-LINE giving! This year it will be December 3 from 12:00 AM to 11:59 PM. On December 3, and only for 24 hours, from 12:00am to 11:59pm, you will have the opportunity to support the La Salette ministries of Attleboro. All donations you make to La Salette Retreat & Conference Center and the National Shrine of Our Lady of La Salette will increase our impact by allowing us to strengthen the existing ministries and to develop three new projects: 1) new programs for children and young families; 2) new programs for people with special needs and 3) to replace several trees that have been uprooted by the “micro-burst” of August 4th, 2019, causing damages to some of the Shrine’s well-known outdoor Christmas lighting display. You can also make your ON-LINE donation early: Advanced Day Giving runs November 18 through December 2, 2019. Don't forget: many employers sponsor matching gift programs and will match charitable contributions made by their employees. Please check with your organization or company to find out if they participate in this program. And share this opportunity with as many friends and relatives as possible.
Notice that all donations made on #iGiveCatholic Giving Day are tax deductible in the full amount. All donors will receive a tax receipt via email once they have made their online donation. |

TAKE TIME... FAN INTO FLAME!

Pentecost is called the “birth of the Church” because the Holy Spirit transformed the apostles through the sign of a flame imparted on each one of them. Faith and zeal is often represented by fire because it is dynamic. At times, we feel “on fire” with enthusiasm for our faith. At other times, the fire within seems to be reduced to smoldering embers.

Saint Paul wrote to his disciple Timothy (2 Tim 1:6) “I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you…” If Saint Paul were speaking today, in our age of electronics, he would probably say: “Keep your batteries charged!”
How? La Salette Retreat Center offers you a variety of Workshops, Days of Recollection and Prayer, and Retreat opportunities to renew and deepen your faith experience. Why feel empty or spent? Stoke those embers into flame. Participate in one or more of these opportunities offered in these pages “to fan the flame of faith and zeal.” Our staff invites you to take the time to recharge your batteries.
