Appalachian 'working retreat' goes local this year

Appalachian 'working retreat' goes local this year: BILLERICA -- The group that stayed at St. Thecla Retreat House from July 27 through Aug. 1 were not from a single parish, they were from all over.  They worked in sprucing up the retreat house.

Why can't parishes do this?  Announce a working retreat to spruce up a parish.  Begin the day with Mass.  After Mass distribute assignments.  Lunch break and a spiritual Talk.  Everyone work to the end of the day.  Every day would work and pray, spiritual music, devotional breaks, etc.  

When I'm the queen of the world, I'll do it.
