The Call of Christ to Help Wake Up the World

Friday, January 15: 7 - 9 p.m.
Saturday, January 16: 10 a.m. - 4 p.m.

Do you wonder if you are called to become a Sister, Brother or Priest? Have you felt an inner urging inviting you to delve deeper into the idea of religious life? It can seem overwhelming and difficult to know where to begin your discovery. Learn more about what religious life means today. We will provide details on who religious are, what they do and how this life is evolving. This is a great opportunity to learn more without requiring any commitment. We will honor the privacy of all participants.

Free will offering is appreciated. Register here by Sunday, January 8.

If you are feeling general discontent or wonder what you should do next, it may be that you need to spend some time in discernment. You are invited to spend a virtual weekend on a journey to discover God’s direction for you. Over the course of the weekend, you will be encouraged to spend time listening to your mind, heart and gut in this holistic way. We will be exploring prayer, journaling and other creative ideas you can use in your process of discernment. This time away will be presented online, but Marywood cabins may be available for those who want to spend this time in a contemplative and sacred place. Contact Marywood for more information and pricing for our cabins.

Father David A. Jones: The Intersection of Oneness and Rugged Individualism
"In this episode of the Messy Jesus Business podcast, we explore the following question: what does building a Church of Oneness really mean? The answer is messy.

'I think a lot of people think heaven is the suburbs. And I’m very clear that’s not true,' explains our guest, Father David A. Jones, who explores the intersection of church and oneness versus rugged individualism.

Father Jones also shares his unique vocation story, we’ll hear his understanding of what it means to be a priest of the neighborhood, and we’ll talk about how our vision of heaven can be limiting, but the reign of God has space for everyone."
