“Healthy Grieving” Sept. 5 The next monthly Evening with an Ursuline dinner and presentation will take place on Tuesday, Sept. 5. “Responding to our Losses through Healthy Grieving” will be presented by Ursuline Sister Vivian Bowles. What we tell ourselves about loss (death, unemployment, illness, divorce, accident, etc.) is usually what determines our ability to cope. We will explore spiritual and psychological resources that can give us sanity, create inner peace, and even allow us to lovingly journey with others who are experiencing losses. The dinner and presentation is from 5 p.m. – 6:30 p.m. at Mount Saint Joseph Conference and Retreat Center (located 12 miles west of Owensboro, Ky., on Hwy. 56). The cost is $20. Preregistration is required by contacting Kathy McCarty at 270-229-0206or kathy.mccarty@maplemount.org.
