On Thursday evening, Dec. 10, 2015, Catholic Rural Life of the St. Martin Deanery will hold its regular meeting.

During the meeting attendees will plan for the “Buy Local Foods” seminar on Jan. 31 and hear a report on the Blue Ribbon Panel Discussion of the Pope’s recent encyclical on the environment.

The meetings are open to anyone who shares our goals of bringing a Christian perspective to life in rural areas, preserving our rural heritage and working to promote dialogue between rural and urban leaders.

The meeting will be held at St. Mary’s church hall in Arnheim at 7 p.m.

For directions to the church or more information about the meeting, call Pat Hornschemeier at 937-378-4769 (day) or 937-378-4560 (evening).
