Spiritual or Religious? One Answer?

It’s the time of year when we start talking about our annual winter migration north! If you haven’t been there yet, we whole-heartedly invite you to join us! You can look forward to breathing in the sweet smelling air, listening to the wind blow through the pines and cozying up in the freshly renovated hostel with some true Frassati camaraderie! With the Mississippi Headwaters Hostel as our rendezvous point, we typically snowshoe or cross country ski on the pine-surrounded trails & open lakes, enjoy family-style meals, play cards or games and take lots of naps by the fireplace. Please consider making your down payment by Monday, Dec. 21. We must pay half the cost of renting the whole hostel by Jan. 1 and would appreciate any help we can get! Make your checks out to “Frassati Society of MN” and send them to Mary Stoick at 1723 Wordsworth Ave, St Paul MN 55116.
