Women’s Evening Retreat
wednesday, March 3, 2021
7:00 to 8:30 p.m. (ET)
Kerry Weber

We are called to lives that incorporate prayer and service, and sometimes that means early mornings, late nights, or long hours. America’s executive editor Kerry Weber discusses her efforts to participate fully in home life, community life and the life of the Church while still maintaining her sanity. Drawing upon her book Mercy in the City and her family life, she will offer her thoughts on how she has tried to balance breadlines and deadlines and describe how her efforts for service have changed since moving from “city that never sleeps” to living in the Jersey suburbs with two kids who never sleep.

Click here to support Holy Family by purchasing Kerry’s book Mercy in the City from our gift shop.

This program will be offered online via the Zoom platform. Information on how to access the program will be provided to participants in their registration confirmation email.

Offering: $25
