Workshop-Retreat at Villa St. Joseph

A workshop-retreat on the theme Life Abundant, facilitated by Mary Rowell, CSJ, will take place October 27-29, 2006 at Villa St. Joseph, Cobourg, Ontario.

Theme: In the exploration of what is the abundant life that is referred to John's Gospel, Mary will lead us in what it might mean for our prayer, our sense of God and our understanding of self. We will also explore together with Mary how this touches our life as people of faith, who with others are called to an ethic of life within life, to care for our Earth and one another.

Sr. Mary brings to this gathering her experience and expertise as an ethicist, as well as the fruit of recent theological studies that led to the successful defense of her doctoral thesis in June.

Cost: $130.00. For more information call 905-372-2741, email villa@eagle.ca or check website at www.villastjoseph.ca.
