A Letter from the Director


Spring is here at Weber Retreat and Conference Center, and it is lovely! The crocuses are waking up, and we are on the cusp of summer.


Each month, Esther Kennedy, OP, offers one of our most popular programs, called "Mindfulness." In this program, Sister Esther guides participants towards a better understanding of themselves, life, and the benefits of being mindful. All are welcome. We hope to see you there!


Blessings,


Sister Janet Doyle, OP
