January

 

Our Identity as Sacraments of Christ

Presenter: Sister Betty Rogers, rc

Has sacramental life become more of a routine or a duty instead of a grace-filled way of living?  Did you know that you yourself are sacramental? 

If we go back to the beginnings, we can learn from the example of Christian sacramental living in the first Christian century and thus renew our true identity.

At the Cenacle:
Tuesday, January 17, 2012
Come either morning, 9:30 - 11:30 a.m.
or evening, 7:00 - 9:00 p.m.
Contact us for information or to register.

January Is a Busy Month!

In January, the Sisters will welcome visitors from the Province government, and also will participate in a workshop on the history of the Cenacle in North America.

 

February

Consecrated Life Day

February 5
Sister Annette Mattle, rc, will be the keynote speaker at the Catholic Center in Jacksonville on February 4.  Her topic will be "The Whys and Wherefores of Our Call to Holiness."  Parishes will observe the day on February 4-5.

This  is an especially fitting time to pray for vocations.  We hope you will include the Cenacle in your prayer.

March

Contemplating the Story of My Life

Presenter: Sister Rose Hoover

We meet God within the reality of our own lives.  When we pray to gaze with God's eyes on the story of our lives—on what we might call our own salvation history—we can say with wonder, like Jacob, "How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God and this is the gate of heaven" (Genesis 28:17).

At the Cenacle:
Two Tuesdays, March 20 and March 27, 2012
Come either morning, 9:30 - 11:30 a.m.
or evening, 7:00 - 9:00 p.m.
Contact us for information or to register.

Also at Marywood Retreat Center, Saturday, April 21 (See below.)

 

Christian Meditation/Centering Prayer
