 Evening program 7:00 - 9:00 pm Offering $15 

This phrase of Walter Burqhardt, SJ's, along with Edwina Gately's, "Embrace the reality of your life - God is there." invite us to be present to what is, and to become more keenly aware of God's active presence in our lives. They invite us to ask what God may be trying to get me to notice in who I am, in my experiences and relationships, in creation and in the events of the world. How can we
listen-in and take a long, loving look at the reality of our lives, and see how God may be inviting us to deeper life and response?  What practices will nurture and sustain us in becoming more loving listeners? Come for an
opportunity to reflect together on the challenges and invitations of our spiritual journeys.
