When we live mindfully, life changes for us and we come to realize that we are standing at the center of a Sacred Circle enveloped by God’s AMAZING GRACE. In this Sacred Space we begin to wake up to the wonderful reality that our poverty and our darkness are the raw materials of God’s abundance.

You will heal and you will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered.” Join us as our presenter shares with us scripture, prayers, hymns, and other resources that will equip us as we travel through the stages of grief. Saints and Saintly People: Catherine McAuley Tuesday, November 19, 2019 9:00 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. Presenter: Sister Mary Anne Nolan, RSM Stipend: $15 Catherine McAuley, Irish heiress and foundress of the Sisters of Mercy, had a tender love and care for the poor, the sick and those deprived of the necessities of life. We will explore the influences of her life that formed and shaped her as a woman of Mercy. In examining her life, we will also notice the ways in which God has formed and shaped our own lives.
