 You will be receiving a compilation of internet links with things to do and places to go within the Santa Clarita area. You will find that there is plenty to do in the off times. There is an opportunity for those clergy that hunt to participate in the September 1 dove hunt which is also available to out of state clergy. California one day hunting licenses can be obtained for less than $25. The cost of the hunt will be $50. We will be camping at the ranch where the hunt is being held. For further information, please contact Fr. Rich Maciejewski. By the way, this hunt is normally $100 but the gentleman who owns the ranch is a parishioner of All Saints Church. 

We are excited about what God will be doing in all of us at the retreat. For further information about the retreat itself, contact Archdeacon David Anderson.
