Spiritual Walk with the
Newman Catholic Community
of the
www.newmanmarianicon.com
Goals
Through a
Marian icon project, all who are inspired to participate will walk the
spiritual journey together with our Blessed Mother to experience how to be like
her who is in total union with the Holy Trinity by way of spiritual
sharing from our family tradition and every day life
experiences.
In response
to God’s special grace, New Helfta is helping to establish at least three
Marian Children scholarships that will be awarded to a junior, a teenager and a
college student. They will keep a four-month
spiritual journal with God assisted by the Blessed Mother. They are to participate in spiritual
practices and acts of charity from the heart.
Please spread the words to all who are interested in participating and
helping to make this spiritual Marian walk a fruitful and grace-filled one for
our future Church. For more information, visit: www.ourladyofnewhelfta.com/Mchildren
