News: Vocation Discernment Weekend
August 1-4, 2008
For: Women aged 19 - 39 interested in exploring a call to religious life. Participants will join us inside our monastic enclosure to pray the Liturgy of the Hours in choir, eat in the monastic refectory, listen to presentations on aspects of our life, and if desired, meet privately for a personal conversation with a sister. There will be a meeting with the monastic community where some sisters share their experiences of discerning their own vocations. The weekend will include times of solitude and silence to create a "listening" and prayerful environment.
The weekend begins Friday, August 1 at 4 PM and ends Monday, August 4, at 9 AM. If these dates do not work for you, please feel free to contact us for an individual discernment and exploration of the life. We can arrange for a stay at our guest house where you can experience our monastic way of life and the Liturgy of the Hours, and have personal talks with a sister.
If interested, please email Sr Martha, our vocation director, or call her at 563-582-2595, x 21.
