The Ladies of Charity of Southwest Florida had their annual retreat on Feb. 10 at the Mary and Mercy Center located on Ave Maria University Campus. With over 62 women participating, the guest speaker was Peggy Stanton, author, journalist and program host of “Power from the Pews” on Ave Maria radio and EWTN. The theme was “Peace is Possible.” Following the retreat, members attended Mass and toured the St. Teresa Museum. This association, located in Naples, wishes all of us peace now and forever and will continue to pray for all Ladies of Charity.
