Love Hurried Forth to Serve--The Hospitality of God:
Lenten Retreat Weekend for Women

- February 24-26, 2012
This weekend retreat offers women the opportunity to reflect on how our natural inclination to make a welcoming space for another images the hospitality of God to us. With Luke's account of the visit of Mary to her cousin Elizabeth as our context, we will explore how the relationship between these two women can offer us a defining paradigm for a feminine response to the call to discipleship and service.  We will discover practical ways to make our own daily experiences of visitation and conversation serve the ongoing creation of the reign of God in our world.
$170 resident / $120 commuter ($30 non-refundable deposit due with registration)
Registration Deadline:  February 10, 2011
Presenter:  Clare D'Auria OSF
