As we had posted earlier, our community retreat was October 7-14. During these days of silence and prayer we remembered all of you in our prayers in a special way, and want to thank you for remembering us in your prayers as well.
It was a blessed time. During the first three days, we had time on our own to pray, reflect and rest. Then Monday, October 10 our retreat master, Father Bill Kiel, a diocesan priest of our diocese, arrived and led us in prayer and reflection on the topics of forgiving, forgetting, reconciliation, trust and mercy. A very different approach and one that we all truly appreciated.
As has become our custom, we had a new community photo taken at the end of the retreat. We hope you like our "mug shot"!
Speaking of retreat, our Advent Live-in Experience is December 9-11. We'd enjoy getting to know you and sharing with our our beautiful monastic life. Please call Sr. Mary Clare at 724-834-3060 for additional information and/or to make reservations.
