Retreats and Programs

During this time together, S. Mary Joan who holds a Master’s degree in Holistic Spirituality, will explore with you the story of The Woman at the Well, John 4:5-30. In our quest for an ever more meaningful relationship with God, we have experienced a longing and a thirsting for deeper oneness with God. During the time together with this passage from John’s Gospel, you will look at Jesus’ use of the images of water, thirst, and the gift of our longing for union with God.

Understanding our Life in the Context of the Paschal Mystery

During this time together, Sister Mathilde will take us through the beauty of the Suffering and Sacrifice of our Lord for love of us. Together, each of us will have the opportunity to look at this great gift of Jesus in the light of God’s gifts and challenges to us in our own lives. Looking at the Paschal Mystery of Christ, we will see how the Father calls us to great joy in our own daily unfolding Paschal Mysteries. We will discover the beauty and the serendipity that comes through suffering and sacrifice.

"Living compassionately is rarely convenient and often downright challenging," writes Joyce Rupp, bestselling and award-winning author and retreat leader. The definitive Christian guide to compassion, Boundless Compassion, is the culmination of Rupp's research and work as Co-director of the Servite Center of Compassionate Presence. We will explore this personal transformation process for developing and deepening compassion as our Lenten Prayer. Participants are expected to purchase Rupp’s book, Boundless Compassion, prior to our first meeting. An additional journal for personal use is suggested but not required.

Fr. Richard will draw from the Scriptures to reflect on our call to discipleship, how we are commissioned and challenged to live it, the joys and challenges of being disciples of the Lord, and where and how to find encouragement as we continue to
live out that discipleship. 

Drawing on over 30 years of parish ministry and experiences, it will be an opportunity to deepen our commitment to the Lord and the life of the Spirit who invigorates us.
