Falling in Love
Presenters: Marcia Allen, CSJ and Bette Moslander, CSJ

This mini-sabbatical is designed for sisters, agrégées and associates of Communities of St. Joseph. It is a fifteen-day intensive of study and prayer for those graced with the charism and called by the mission of Sisters of St. Joseph who trace their origins to mid-17th Century France and the founders Jean Pierre Medaille S.J. and the first six women of LePuy. Content includes the historical roots and expansion of the Congregation, the Founders and first communities, agrégées and associates and the primitive documents. Special attention is given to the spirit and spirituality and the mystical aspect of the vocation. The sabbatical closes with a six day retreat in the context of the Eucharistic Letter.
