Women's Lenten Retreat
~ presented by Fr. Michael Woost

Carrying
the Burden, Finding the Joy - Lent is a time to look at how we are
addressing the burdens unique to women in faith, family, friendship.
When we infuse the gift of prayer and reflection into our Lenten
experience, we will find a Jesus Who will draw us to the Resurrection of
faith and happiness in our lives. No matter what you are struggling with,
come to find peace. This is a
preached retreat with ample time for prayer,
reflection and guided
direction. We will have Mass
and the Sacrament of Reconciliation as well.

June
13-20 Retreat for Women Religious
presented by Sr. Maureen
McCarthy, O.S.U.
The Questions of
Jesus - Jesus presents some very pointed questions to his followers
in the 1st century that are applicable to women religious in the 21st
century. Given the changing and challenging world we live in, we need
to face the same kid of introspection that brought Jesus' followers to a
deep faith and willingness to follow as committed disciples. We will
pray with and reflect on the following questions of Jesus: Who do you say
I am? Why are you so afraid? What do you want me to do for
you? Can you drink from the cup that I shall drink? Why do you
raise such questions in your heart? Do you also fail to understand?
Cost is $375 and
includes room and board. Register early by clicking
here or calling (440) 884-9300.
