Entry of Immaculate Heart Retreat Center.

Coffee and Contemplation, a spiritual discussion and prayer event for people of all denominations at Immaculate Heart Retreat Center, will continue with the Rev. Janeen Steer, campus minister at Gonzaga University on May 21. The topic will be Living in the now and not yet.”
