Catholic Daughters sponsor annual French Retreat

The Catholic Daughters of the Americas, Sacred Heart of Jesus Court #1674, hosted its annual French Retreat at the Our Lady Queen of All Saints Family Life Center on Wednesday, March 9. Father Richard Vidrine led the retreat and celebrated mass in French. He also led the sacraments of confession and anointing of the sick. The Way of the Cross also was prayed before the retreat ended. In the first photo, volunteer Faye Lafleur, left, and chairman Verna Guillory, center, pose for a photo with Father Richard Vidrine.
