The third weekend of July, as is the case every year at the Shrine of Our Lady of La Salette in Dębowiec/Poland, is traditionally a time to meet the parents and relatives of the Missionaries and their friends.

It is an occasion to spend two days together praying, exchanging experiences, and simply socializing.

This year's program included Eucharist, the novena to Our Lady of La Salette, other Marian devotions, as well as prayer for the deceased La Salette Missionaries in the cemetery here. The novices presented a program of entertainment centered around a comedy routine. On Sunday, July 19, family members and friends met with the Provincial, Fr. Andrew Zagorski MS.
