CONFERENCE CENTER (happy!) NEWS
God willing, the Conference Center will open in September!!!!! Needless to say, we are very excited that, once again, we will be able to offer retreats and programs for our faithful and dear friends. A few things will look/be different, but the peaceful and beautiful atmosphere of the IHM Conference Center will be the same. During the summer, you will receive notice of programs planned for the first semester, along with any “particulars” you will need to know before you arrive. Be assured that the Staff will be standing at the doors eager to see you and to say,
“WELCOME BACK!”

WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE A VOLUNTEER?
As we begin a new year, we are in need of a few more volunteers. Since there will be a little more to do (sanitizing, cleaning, setting up, etc.), there is a need to assign one or two extra volunteers for each program. If you are interested or know someone who might be interested, please call Sister Marie at 610-581-0120 or email at ihmconferencecenter@gmail.com THANK YOU!

WE OFFER OUR GRATITUDE!
We often have folks contact us by phone or email asking how they can be a help to us...as a way of showing their gratitude for just being a part of our Conference Center "Family!" First of all, we are always so very grateful for a remembrance in your prayers as that is the best support to us in our ministry. Each day at our Morning Prayer, which we pray in common, we specifically ask God's blessings on our "Benefactors"...those who have gifted us with their presence, their time, their prayers and their treasure. If you would like to become one of our monetary Benefactors, we will gratefully accept a donation in any amount toward our ministry. Checks should be made to IHM Conference Center and sent to Sister Marie Gipprich at the Center. We are most grateful for all that you do for us and continue to ask God's blessings on each one and your special intentions! Thank you!

At this time of social upheaval and realization of our country’s inequalities, we will reflect on creating that community of kinship that God might recognize. ZOOM LINK: https://youtu.be/_zc2hgx6CjQ (with apologies, as the recording did not begin until about a minute into the presentation!) Topic: “Life in a Sycamore Tree: Zacchaeus’ Story (and Ours)” Date: April 13, 2021 Time: 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. Presenter: Sister Marie Gipprich, IHM In the nineteenth chapter of Luke’s gospel we hear the story of Zacchaeus, a man primarily known for climbing a sycamore tree. We know a few other things about him: he was small of stature and he wanted to see Jesus. But who was Zacchaeus—really? In this presentation we will take a closer look at this tax collector-turned-follower-of-Jesus, and find that we all can relate to this man who played host to Jesus in his home.

As you know, our last photos were taken at our last, wonderful event, our Irish Tea, on March 12th, the day before everything was "shut down." We hope that we will be able to begin anew in 2021! Please be sure to see our Note of Gratitude for your many kindnesses to us! It may be found at the bottom of the Letter from the Director page! (Click the link!) |
