Upcoming Events AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE As you can imagine, we are as eager to welcome you to our planned events and to see you as you are to come to them. Out of an abundance of caution, while we continue to battle new variants of the Covid Virus, we have taken every possible measure to ensure your safety, that of our volunteers, and in particular, that of the Sisters who call this beautiful place our Convent Home. And so, we respectfully ask that only those who are fully vaccinated against Covid register for any of our upcoming events. We ask that you wear a mask while inside the building, except when eating in the dining room. We greatly appreciate your understanding of our need to ask this of you and look forward to the day when we no longer need to have precautions in place! Thank you! A Peek at Our January Programs
Spirituality Day: Carmelite Spirituality Thursday, January 13, 2022 9:30 a.m.- 11:30 a.m. Presenter: Michaele Wicks, MA Stipend: $20 (includes refreshment break only) The heart of the Christian vocation whether religious or lay is to become like Christ and to love as God loves, extravagantly and without condition. Carmelite spirituality guides us along this well-worn path by encouraging us to ponder the mystery of the divine-human friendship with a focus on scripture and special emphasis on the person of Jesus Christ. At it very core, Carmelite spirituality is a love story of human desire - not to be conquered or controlled—but to be transformed into the will of God. This presentation will offer some basic tools necessary for traveling this ancient but ever new Carmelite Way. ````` ````` ````` ````` ````` ````` ````` Conference Day: “Hildegard of Bingen: Practical Mystic” Tuesday, January 18, 2022 9:30 a.m. – 2:30 p.m. Presenter: Michelle Francl-Donnay Stipend: $40 (includes Continental Breakfast, lunch and Mass) St. Hildegard of Bingen was a 12th century Benedictine Abbess, preacher, musician, and scientist - a very practical mystic.
