WOMEN’S SPIRITUAL SPA DAY
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 26
We welcome you once again to a series of gatherings, this time to reflect
and share our “Spiritually Alive” - sacred experiences in our lives and
times; on Thursday, September 26 at the Felician Sisters Convent. Our
program will be presented by Miriam Brown, OP, a Sinsinawa Dominican
sister and member of the retreat program staff of Siena Retreat Center in
Racine. She has an eye for the Spirit’s movement in the world and the
blessed unfolding of God in the happenings of each person’s varied and
precious life.
Morning - 9:00am to 12:00noon
Evening - 6:00pm to 9:00pm
Gathering and refreshments 30 minutes prior to start times
“People of Faith: Eyes to See the Workings of God”
Remember how often Jesus spoke to the disciples about having “eyes to see” and “ears to hear” the
nearness and coming-to-be of the Kingdom of God? That is what it is to be a “mystic” - to know Divine
Presence and be at one with God in all that is. Please bring a story or a symbol of something in your
experience when you did have “eyes to see” the wonder or workings of God.
