Spiritual Events in Quad Cities
Upcoming Events:
Join Sr. Bobbi in discussing Richard Rohr’s newest book, The Tears of Things. It is a great way to bring the Old Testament prophets into our lives today. This is a 5-session series. While the chapters are short, the reflection on the material brings depth to the discussions. This series will use the book, CAC videos, reflection questions, and chapter highlights to provide insight and discussion.
We heal relationships through art, love, and deep silence. Otto Rank calls this mystical union. In our quest for community and communication, through ritual we gather to give thanks, grieve, and celebrate our sacred existence. Building on his own insights and other philosophers, Matthew Fox will lead us on a journey of transformative nonviolence.
If you are unable to attend this retreat live, you will receive the recording link.
In this special program, reflecting on the life, works and thought of Archbishop Sheen, we have the opportunity to be led to a deeper relationship with God. Renewing and strengthening our relationship with God provides us with inspiration and wisdom to serve all within our daily life.
Pope Francis was passionate about Christ and His Church; an advocate for peace and justice especially to the marginalized; and compassionate towards every person he met. Join Sr. Bobbi for a 3-part series which remembers Pope Francis by reflecting on his writing and papal documents.
This 5-week series will examine how works of art interpreted and promoted the spiritual teachings of saints Hildegard of Bingen, Catherine of Siena, Teresa of Ávila, and Thérèse of Lisieux. We will explore historical influences on female devotional experiences and discuss how artistic representations integrated the unique visions of these four female saints into broader Christian narratives. Suggested text is Vinita Hampton Wright’s "Set the World on Fire: A Personal Retreat with the Female Doctors of the Church."
