2012 Gathering of Sisters in their 20s and 30s

Sisters at 20s 30s MLK retreat 2012

Sisters in their 20s and 30s gathered for a peer led retreat over MLK Weekend 2012 at the  beautiful Our Lady of Guadalupe Monastery in Phoenix, Arizona.
 
Sisters came from different congregations across the United States to join in contemplative prayer, conversation, and celebration. 
 
"I believe wholeheartedly that it is essential that those of us who are younger in religious life come together as often as is feasible-to dream together, to support one another, to ask questions about one another's experience, to say, 'No, you're not the crazy one' ... to laugh together, shed some necessary tears ... to listen together to God speaking through our lives." ~ Sister Nicole Trahan, FMI
