March 11-13 Women’s Retreat: “The Tender Mercy of Our God”
“The Tender Mercy of Our God: Jesus and Gospel Women” is the theme of a women’s retreat the weekend of March 11–13 at Mount Saint Joseph Conference and Retreat Center. Participants will be invited to reflect on “the tender mercy of God” as embodied in Jesus’ treatment of a number of women in the gospels. Jesus extended divine mercy to childless women, women whose children had died, poor and sick women, “foreign” women, “sinners” and to women outside conventional roles. Through reading, reflecting and sharing, attendees will translate the face of God’s mercy toward Gospel women into the experience of God’s mercy today. Retreat leader is Sister Cheryl Clemons, OSU. The $180 fee includes meals and accommodations. Commuters can attend for $130. Take 10 percent off the cost if paid in full by Feb. 11. Contact Kathy McCarty, 270-229-0206 or e-mail kathy.mccarty@maplemount.org. A brochure can be found at www.ursulinesmsj.org (Click on Conference and Retreat Center).
