ACTS send off gathering

Thank you for meeting with Carolyn and I on Monday. St Stephens has a wonderful hall and we will take care of it like our own. I wanted to get on the calendar for the send off on Thursday, Oct 4th. We will get there at 4:15 to set up and should be cleaned up and out of there by 6:30. We will use the hall to check in retreatants. We will set up cookies and drinks and have musicians playing. I would like to see if Father Mike or a Deacon can come do a Blessing over retreantants before leaving. How do I go about that? For the 10:45 Mass on Oct 7th, has anyone asked for 70 seats to be reserved for the ladies returning from retreat? We talked with Fr Mike at our meeting and wanted to follow through with you.
