SUMMARY:An Ignatian Experience of Sacred Earth
DESCRIPTION:WOMEN IGNATIAN –  The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius reveal\, in and for a new time\, a vibrant ecological dimension. In particular\, the Exercises invite us to deepen our contemplative experience of Creation revealing God the loving Creator\, the historical Jeus\, Incarnate Word of God and the eternally present Cosmic Christ. They call for an ecological conversion in this\, our time of global crisis. \n\n\n\nDuring the retreat we will reflect together on the unfolding and nurturing dynamic of the Spiritual Exercises toward deeper intimacy with God in daily life. From the heart of prayer\, we will listen for God’s call for right relationship and action for the Earth in a spirit of trust\, gratitude and joy. All welcome to a time of “universal sacredness”.  \n\n\n\nFacilitated by Sr. Mary Rowell\, csj  \n\n\n\n\n\nFlyer-March13-15\,2026(Sr.Mary)Download

SUMMARY:What is your Sensory Preference? Discover how God uniquely speaks to you.
DESCRIPTION:DAY OF REFLECTION FOR WOMEN: Click on the Above Heading for More Information and Registration. \n\n\n\nCome away for a day of renewal\, insight\, and connection with other women of faith. Together\, we’ll explore how God communicates with each of us — through visual\, auditory\, or kinesthetic ways. Uncover the method you most naturally receive God’s love\, guidance\, and presence.Grow in understanding of your sensory preference and how it shapes your relationship with the Lord. “Whatever is received is received in the mode of the receiver.” — St. Thomas Aquinas \n\n\n\nHumans typically learn and process information through all our five senses\, but generally favour one or two. Sensory preference refers to the type of stimuli that registers in your brain most quickly\, intensely and efficiently. God desires to relate to us through our natural preferences. \n\n\n\nTake this free Temperaments quiz: http://www.temperamentquiz.com and please bring the results to the retreat day. We will uncover your distinct prayer style through examining your motivations\, external distractions\, internal blocks\, and optimal environments as they relate to your sensory preference. A great way to prepare for Advent. \n\n\n\nFacilitated by: Veronica Lujbicic \n\n\n\n\n\nDOR-Veronica-November 22\,2025Download

SUMMARY:Praying with Suffering. 
DESCRIPTION:WOMEN IGNATIAN – Suffering is something every human will have to encounter along their life journey. Some will carry big crosses and some small. Sometimes we are the ones who endure it and sometimes we knowingly or unknowingly will bring suffering to others. Suffering is meaningless\, even inhumane by itself\, but when we let the light of God shine upon it\, everything changes. \n\n\n\nFacilitated by Fr.

SUMMARY:The Wisdom of Henri Nouwen: Insights to guide one's spiritual journey.
DESCRIPTION:WOMEN IGNATIAN: Henri Nouwen was a Dutch-born Catholic priest\, a professor\, and a psychologist\, as well as a spiritual guide and writer. He wrote with great openness about faith\, spiritual development\, prayer\, and other aspects of our journeys with God. One of his greatest gifts was his ability to help people connect with their vulnerabilities in order to grow in trust and intimacy. \n\n\n\nThis retreat will provide prayer support for some of the common themes in Nouwen’s writing being the beloved of God\, giving and receiving forgiveness\, growing in hope\, and accepting one’s limitations. The focus will be on providing concrete ways to incorporate these ideas into our prayer lives. \n\n\n\n Facilitated by Fr. Kevin Kelly\, SJ \n\n\n\n\n\nFlyer-Oct.24-26\,2025K.KellyDownload

SUMMARY:Gifted in the Spirit:  Graced in God.
DESCRIPTION:DAY OF REFLECTION FOR MEN & WOMEN – The Holy Spirit is the animating force in all Creation\, the energizing impetus in the evolving Church\, whole-making and fully alive in each one of us; alive for love and alive for mission. The awareness of the presence of the Holy Spirit\, Pope Leo has said\, “accomplished something extraordinary in the lives of the Apostles”\, likewise for us the gift of the Spirit is ours “shattering our inner chains\, fears and hardened hearts to make us new.” \n\n\n\nBecoming aware of this great gift of the Spirit is at the heart of discernment calling us to pay attention to the interior movements that align us with God’s Dream for our lives and for the world. It is also at the very foundation of the church’s renewed call to Synodality through which we are invited to listen intensely\, to gift our voices and lives and as we walk together\, in communion\, participation and mission in a Church unfolding in mystery and in a world that cries for healing. \n\n\n\nFacilitated by Sr. Mary Rowell\, csj \n\n\n\n\n\nDOR-Sept.29\,2025-Sr.MaryRDownload

SUMMARY:Redeeming Emotions:  How to Understand\, Feel\, and Manage Them Properly.
DESCRIPTION:DAY OF REFLECTION FOR WOMEN: Click on the Above Heading for More Information and Registration. \n\n\n\nAt their core\, emotions are human and good. The Catechism of the Catholic Church states that “The passions are neither good nor bad in themselves. They are good when they contribute to a good action\, and they are evil in the opposite case.” … “They are natural components of human psychology which incline a person to act or not to act\, in view of what is perceived as good or evil.” \n\n\n\nLet’s explore together how they can propel us toward virtue and life in abundance. \n\n\n\nJoin us for this interactive workshop reflection day for women seeking greater emotional freedom\, healing\, and holiness. Together\, we’ll explore how to understand\, feel\, and manage our emotions in a healthy way—so we can live with greater peace\, purpose\, and authenticity. Emotional management begins with awareness\, acceptance and curiosity. \n\n\n\nYou will learn how to acknowledge your emotions\, process them\, and bring them under the rule of your intellect and will. We will teach you how to stop indulging in feelings that keep you stuck and unable to cope\, to choose emotions that lead to growth\, thriving\, and integration. \n\n\n\nCome away with enriching tools and best practices\, reflect and enjoy the lovely grounds\, connect\, share a meal\, and celebrate Mass through meaningful fellowship with other women of faith. \n\n\n\nFacilitated by: Veronica Lujbicic \n\n\n\n\n\nDOR-Veronica-Sept.20\,2025Download
