CLEMMONS — Catholic Charities Diocese of Charlotte’s Elder Ministry sponsored a Day of Reflection at Holy Family Church Sept. 14.
Seniors from seven parishes gathered together to listen to Father Mark Lawlor, pastor of St. Therese Church in Mooresville, speak on the “Virtue of Gratitude.”
Participants were reminded how important it is to say “thank you” and how this simple act can deepen one’s relationships with others and experience God’s love more richly in their lives.
