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.
