In this evening of reflection for women, we will focus on how women have nurtured our Church and our faith through their example and courage through the centuries. We will look at six women, including Perpetua and Felicity, Teresa of Avila, and Dorothy Stang, among others, who were not afraid to live their faith, hold on to their convictions, and confront opposition, thereby giving us examples of true discipleship.
This program will be offered both in-person and online via Zoom. Information on how to access the program on Zoom will be sent to participants in advance.
Offering $50, includes dinner as well as wine & cheese from 5:30 to 6:00
