3 Can 6 Days Change Your Life? Absolutely, if you can spare 6 days to experience a spiritually filled missionary trip to Jamaica. Come join Fr. Brendan and fellow parishioners October 13 th to October 18 th, 2014 to share in the missionary life of the Missionaries of the Poor (M.O.P.), a Catholic order of brothers and priests. We will pray and work with them to answer Jesus call to Serve the least of my brethren. Once a year members of St. Edwards set out on a pilgrimage to work side be side with the brothers in their apostolic centers caring for the truly needy and forgotten. Come share your gift of love with handicapped children, elderly men and women all who had been abandoned and left on the streets to die. We have space for 20 people to be a part of this life changing experience. The work is simple and sometimes hard, but the rewards will be beyond your expectations. All it takes is a valid passport, the price of a round trip ticket to Kingston, (currently $600) and the ability to ascend and descend three flights of stairs to the visitor s living quarters. Ask the Lord if this is the year to take a different kind of trip, one that will offer the opportunity to see the face of Jesus in the poor and come away with freshly enriched spirituality. If you are interested and would like more information leave your name and phone number at the church front office (949) In turn, Linda or I will give you a call and answer any questions. There will also be an orientation meeting held in the near future, watch for the announcement in the bulletin.

13 Special Retreat for Medical Professionals Endow and the Catholic Medical Association of the Diocese of Orange invite all medical professionals (doctors, nurses, CNAs, PAs, dentists, hygienists, OBGYNs, NFP practitioners, etc.) to a special retreat on "Finding Meaning in Suffering." This unique retreat allows participants to step away from the busyness of their lives to reflect with Pope Saint John Paul II on the message of joy and hope in suffering. When we suffer in union with Christ, it can be a source of innumerable graces and blessings, a powerful means through which our lives are transformed and made holy. During this retreat, we will explore the various ways that we experience suffering in the world, its origins, and our quest for its meaning. Pope Saint John Paul II will show us how it is only in Christ that we can hope to find any meaning and purpose in our experience of suffering. Saturday, August 9th ~ 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Christ Catholic Cathedral (In the Cathedral Cultural Center Freed Theater) Chapman Avenue, Garden Grove Registration: $80 Includes half-day retreat, all materials, and lunch.
