The Annual Renewal Day is a special opportunity to come together with other SPMA Missionaries and Receivers to reflect on and renew our commitment to the Blessed Mother as her missionaries through SPMA.
A continental breakfast will be provided, and we will have a potluck lunch (SPMA will provide tamales and sandwiches). Please bring something to share and don’t forget to bring your pilgrim MTA!
