This year’s day of reflection is an invitation to reflect on authentic hope in the world today and address the range of “soul sicknesses” in our lives, which are those sources of division, anxiety, fear, and injustice that trouble our hearts, minds, and communities. Daniel Horan will draw on the resources of the Franciscan tradition, especially the lives and writings of St. Francis and St. Clare, as well as a range of contemporary wisdom figures, to deepen our understanding of authentic Christian hope in troubling times and to renew our sense of faith at this important moment in history.All Are Welcome - Suggested Donation $65, includes lunchDonate what you can ($5-$100) so all who are interested may attendONLINE REGISTRATION HAS ENDED - if you would like to attend please contact Jeanne Connolly at jconnolly@wfsisters.org who will confirm if space is available!Doors open at 8:30am - Come to ENTRANCE 7 for this eventDaniel P.
