Pope Leo XIV has called upon us – 1.4 billion Catholics around the world – to be a synodal church.
This means walking together with all our differences, getting out of our comfort zone, and embracing other Catholics in our own parishes and beyond, who may not speak our language, vote like us, or dress like us.
It’s time to stop focusing on our differences and focus on our common humanity and our common mission to make Jesus known in the world . . . together.
This bi-lingual (English/Spanish), interactive, heartfelt women’s retreat, designed to build community among the diverse Catholic women in our parish is co-facilitated by Jane Cavanaugh, Spiritual Director, and Anne Attea, Director of Campus Ministry at St. Catherine University.
The morning will include scripture, small-group time, journaling, prayer, and laughter. Learn to appreciate the diversity in our parish and build some new friendships. Leave with practical ways to do your part to move our Church from “I” to “we.”
