  •   She Taught Me How To Eat Artichokes 

Life is about relationships.  We’re all interdependent in relationships to self, with one another and collectively.  When ever we come home to the center of who we are, things begin to work effortlessly.  In this workshop, we will explore these relationships in a fun and helpful way.

Date:  April 5, 9:30 AM-3:30 PM

Suggested Donation: $30.00 , includes lunch

Facilitator: S. Ramona Fallon

  •   "Created In The Image Of Today's World": The Church's Teaching On Social Justice.

This day of reflection will focus on the powerful messages of Scripture, starting with Genesis, that clearly shows God's love for all humanity and the need to be caring and mindful of all people.  The Church has drawn on Scripture and other sources  in formulating  its social teaching as well.          

Date:  April 26, 9:30 AM-3:30 PM

  • "Discerning Your Call: Listening to God's Voice"

If you are wondering whether you are being called to Mother of God Monastery, a monastic experience of living with the sisters, sharing their prayer, work and leisure may be very helpful.  The monastic experience can provide you with an opportunity to learn about St. Benedict, the community prayer, and the rhythm of monastic life in a Benedictine monastery.  You will be able to visit with sisters and hear their stories and see first hand how the sisters live.
