Break-A-Way: A Day of Prayer and Quiet

Take time out from your busy! This year the reflection will be “Pondering the Mysteries of Creation” in celebration of our Benedictine value of Care of Creation. The day begins with an opening reflection. The rest of the day is for whatever nourishes you such as a contemplative walk; reading; prayer; time in the Chapel etc. Spiritual Direction is available (for an additional cost of $45). Bring lunch or eat in quiet with the Sisters, who have their monthly Prayer Day at this time. 

The video series is based on the writings of Denis Edwards (Bio link).
