Living waters flow . . . healing and renewing land, seas, and our responsibility toward creation. Waters flow, as a tiny stream that deepens, bringing life to dead areas and restoring ecosystems. We examine Ezekiel’s call to global restoration of life, ecological healing, the interdependence of humanity and the natural world, bringing hope for both humanity and creation.

Continuing in Synodality, we listen to the voices who call us on the path of holiness in living out the Gospel call. We are wonderfully surprised to hear the voice of our Churches, our neighbors, and our own voices calling us into a deeper way of life together. And we are invited to hear Josephine Bakhita, Nichoas Black Elk, Julia Greeley, Thomas Merton, Dorothy Day and Thea Bowman, people on the road to canonization.

In a preached format, The Beloved Discipleship Retreat will examine the Gospel of John as our way of entering into the call we each have to become the beloved disciples of Jesus in today’s world. The rhythm of prayer will include times for silence, personal prayer, and individual accompaniment if requested.

Rejoice! Marillac Retreat and Spirituality Center marks 25 years in our current building.  Created by the SCL’s as a place for prayer, peace, hope, and transformation, the Sisters share their holy ground, their stories, and charism with those who seek to grow spiritually and deepen their quest for God. On the third Tuesday of the month, we celebrate. Sr. Noreen and the Marillac team will “open wide the doors” of the Marillac Retreat and Spirituality Center for all to come and worship, rest, and rejoice! Sr. Noreen will engage us in Marillac’s history and purpose, different styles of prayer, and suggestions for revitalizing our ways of praying in today’s world. Rejoice!

Mr. Nic Herrmann

During the season we are called to contemplate both life and death, we cross the sacred threshold where the spirits of the past and the pulse of the present become one in a shared celebration of life and the afterlife. It’s a day to weave together global traditions and deep prayer, inviting a fresh perspective on the holy cycle of birth, death, and the light that carries us through them all.

Spirituality for nurses is a life-long journey. This day together is designed to assist nurses to find personal meaning in work; to cultivate self-compassion; to sustain emotional resilience; and to adopt reflective practices such as meditation, prayer, and journaling.

Rejoice! The Crow Tribe of Native Americans has long understood gratitude as a way of living in right relationship with the Creator, the land, family, and all living beings. Participants will be invited to consider how they might integrate some of these values into their own lives.

The first two weeks in Advent call us to reflect together on passages from Scripture that help us recall, recognize, and anticipate encounters with God in our lives. How does God encounter His people? How does God encounter you?
