IHM SCHOOL NEWS:
Thank you to everyone who came out
to support IHM at our annual Golf
Outing and Dinner Fundraiser Event.
Golfers enjoyed some great afternoon
rounds of golf. Others then joined the golfers for an
evening of wine tasting and dinner. The live auction
and raffle items brought another round of
enthusiasm in support of IHM.
This Monday, our students will show
their HEART by wearing pink and
donating to the Bay Area Cancer Connection. As
active Christians and responsible citizens, our
IHM students continue to grow in areas of
service to others. If you would like to support this
cause, the Student Council will be accepting
donations through the school office.
We are now accepting applications for
the 2015-2016 school year. Visit our
website
at
www.ihmschoolbelmont.org or call
the school office 650-593-4265 for
more information. School tours are available; call
the school office at (650) 593-4265. For information
on our preschool, call our director Katrina Reyes at

RETREAT:
“BALANCE”
Saturday, Oct. 25, 2014 9:30am to 9:00pm. San
Damiano Retreat, 710 Highland Dr., Danville, CA,
94526. Retreat Leader: Paula Jenkins, MAR and the
Leadership Team. Lunch is included in the price of $50.
We welcome anyone between the ages of 18 and 40 to
join us at San Damiano. Topic: “Balance” – Balancing
a job and a spiritual life with friends and family, events
and free time all becomes a juggling act that can become
overwhelming. If we add in a life transition or change
(changing a job, dating a new person, moving, getting
married, having a child), it can cause a cascade of
changes that mean that we have to re-address nearly
every aspect of our life. No matter what stage you are in
life, whether you are graduating from high school or in
college, just starting a new career or have been working
for a decade, are single, or married and have children,
this retreat will offer something for you. For more info,
email Paula – [email protected]
