Dear Friends,

The Sisters and staff of Sacred Heart Retreat House extend a personal invitation to you, your family and friends to join us on Saturday, November 5, 2011, for our 30th Annual Boutique and Family Festival. If you are new to the Retreat House, we can assure you that this will be a day of family enjoyment, and if you have attended the Boutique in the past, we look forward to welcoming you again. Among the activities and variety of events of the day, there will be something for everyone—shopping for homemade gifts in the Boutique Hall, bidding for jewelry, furniture, and collectible items in the Silent Auction area, browsing in the religious goods store, eating lunch while listening to musical entertainment, choosing delectables from the Carmel Kitchen, finding plants and garden items to beautify your home, visiting our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament in our beautiful chapel, letting the children visit Santa and make craft items in his workshop, and visiting with the many Sisters who will be present.

In addition to attending, may we ask you to help us promote this fundraising event in your neighborhood and parish? We have many needs and, if you find among them areas in which you can help, please give us a call or send an email and we will promptly respond.
