The following photographs document the Wednesday, March 24, “Following the Spirit” discernment workshop. As the second one in the series, the sisters were blessed with returning participants as well as new friends from the Northside community and beyond! It’s amazing to see this group grow and to glean the relational network that extends such prayerful opportunities. The sisters are especially grateful to the young men and women of the Urban Homeworks community that are convening on these evenings, as well as friends through – and alumni from – Visitation School. This session included guest facilitator, Sr. Mary Virginia, as she took the participants through a discernment process. Sister illustrated a discernment experience through the story of the Vis Sisters coming from St. Louis, Missouri, to found the new monastery in North Minneapolis.
Check out the pictures! Consider joining us on April 28 from 7pm – 8:30pm. All discerners are welcome!
