Eucharistic Miracles Exhibition/Darien+Henry

Dear Lighthouse,
Darien wants me to pass the following information (from Watermark Bible Study Group):
**************************************************************************************************
Hey Everyone!

I think this will be a neat and fun "field trip!"

There's an exhibition of all the official Vatican
approved Eucharistic miracles, like with pictures and information and
stuff about them, and we can just go and look. I was told that in
total, there's only like about 130 of them more or less, and there's
supposedly one poster for each of them. But they will be split up to
be shown at two different churches this weekend, half at one and about
half at the other. This is happening THIS coming weekend (10/27-28).

1. Sacred Heart Parish in Saratoga.
They will be on display in the church vestibule and the church is open
for people to look at them AFTER their Masses for about an hour. Their
Mass times are Saturday 5pm, Sunday 9am, 11am, 5pm.

2. St. John Vianney Parish and School in San Jose
(4600 Hyland Avenue). They will be on display in the "garage," it's
supposed to be like a hall. And we're free to go and look at them
anytime they're open. The hall will be open on Saturday 11am-5pm, and
Sunday 8am-2pm. There's also a talk about the Eucharist as the
Church's treasure at 2pm there.

If anyone is interested in going, just email henry
(don't just hit reply please!!) and we can go together and carpool!
Henry's planning to go see the exhibition at St. John Vianney and also hear
the talk at 2pm on Saturday.

Hope to hear from some of you!
henry

Both events are on 12/15, and both starts at 8:30am (and last between 4-6 hours). Soon you will receive two evites from me, one for each location.
We encourage all of you to take up this opportunity and do something wonderful. Remember, sign up for ONE event only.
Need your decision by 12/1.
