Weaving with Threads of Love:
A Lace Making Retreat
Presenters: Janet Lander, CSJ & Ramona Medina, CSJ
This retreat is designed to give individuals the opportunity to experience and integrate the spirituality and the practice of making bobbin lace in a contemplative setting. Lace making as contemplative practice creates in us heart-space where the connections with God and the dear neighbor may be woven in prayer, as surely as the design of threads and spaces evolves on the lace pillow before our eyes. No previous experience in lace making is required. Sunday, 7:00 p.m. to Sunday, 12:00 noon.

Women on the Way
Presenters: Mary Savoie, CSJ and Margaret Nacke, CSJ
This retreat will take participants on a personal journey with the scriptures and liturgical celebrations of Holy Week paralleled with the lives of sisters who experienced oppression under communism in Eastern Europe. Their "holy week" lasted over forty years. The personal testimonies of these sisters, gathered from the project Sister Survivors of European Commumism, will guide reflection and discussion and lead retreatants to ponder lessons to be learned from these women for life in contemporary society. Monday, 5:30 p.m. - Sunday, 12:00 noon.
