Hello, Everyone!

WELCOME to our "YouTube" Box!  Listed below you will find the links to all of the YouTube videos we have made since September, 2020.  We will gradually add, at the top of the list, the most recent Lenten Reflection Videos as they are made.  It is our hope that this will enable you to click on, view...and "re-view"...any video whenever you have the time.  Know that you are always in our thoughts and prayers - and we count on a remembrance in yours, as well!  God bless until we "see" you again!

Dear Friends,
        Thank you for your response to our ZOOM sessions!  We are overwhelmed by your willingness to participate with us in this new way!  Because of your tremendous and immediate responses to this invitation, we went past our original limit of 15 participants and had to CLOSE all remaining sessions.  We want to allow time for all to interact as we would on a normal conference day.  We are grateful for your understanding that this was necessary.     
       Please remember that the day before each session, we will send an email link to you so you can easily join the session.  (Sister Marie already verified your participation with a reply email to your registration.)  The list of topics may be found toward the bottom of this page as well as on our Program Brochure page. (Just click that link!) 
       ​Thank you and God's blessings on each one!

                                                                ​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!

          Upcoming ZOOM Sessions - All sessions are                              CLOSED to new registrations         

Topic:        “The Call to Compassion: When Heart                                   Speaks to Heart”
Date:           March 16, 2021
Time:           10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.
Presenter:    Sister Catherine Kaporch, IHM

This will be a time set aside for imagining, with God, a circle of compassion and our place in it.  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.

 
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.

​Registration for any of the above ZOOM sessions is by email only to Sr. Marie at the email address below and will be limited to 15 participants.  Sister will send a reply verification to your email.  You will receive an email link the day before the session so you can easily log in 5 minutes before the session begins!

As always, you may reach us anytime by:
  • calling the IHM Conference Center at 610-581-0120 
  • emailing Sister Marie at         ihmconferencecenter@gmail.com

Join Us for a Virtual Tour!


​Have you seen the Wootton Mansion lately?  We would love to have you visit, virtually, by viewing below...

Please know that we have a Handicapped Person Entrance available for all participants of our Programs!  If you wish to use this, kindly call Sr. Marie at 610-581-0120 to make arrangements before you arrive!
DID YOU KNOW...?  We are now on Facebook...and have added a Photo Gallery Page!  Read below for more details!
   
The IHM Conference Center is now on Facebook!  If you use Facebook, please look us up...at IHM Conference/Retreat Center in Bryn Mawr, PA...and like us, but also SHARE us; you'll help spread our ministry when you share our posts with your Facebook friends!  You'll find information about up-coming events, photos of recent groups that have been at the Center for one of our programs or their own day of reflection.

There are so many wonderful things happening here!  We are seeking to expand our present groups so that others can take advantage of the beauty of our Center and enjoy the opportunities it affords...not only for spiritual renewal, but also as a place to gather for business meetings "away from the workplace!"

​

Thank you!  Know that we always look forward to seeing our friends and appreciate your confidence and participation in our events!

Click here to see the Photo Gallery for 2019-2020!  We hope you will visit the page often as new presentations are added.  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!)
