Intended to be a one time only, four-week session, Evenings for Women is now in its 20th year. Meeting in the Ark (second floor of the Fr. Connelly Parish Center), on the third Tuesday of each month, from 7:00 pm to 8:30 pm, we are led by Sister Katherine in a spiritually uplifting ninety minutes.
The book for this year is "Making Room for God: Clearing Out the Clutter" by Susan K. Rowland and can be purchased from the parish office. In this book the author takes us on her journey of self-discovery and self-simplifying. She reveals how she de-toxed from the societal pressure to do constantly and to have insatiably, and most importantly, how, in the process of letting go of so much“clutter”, she became stronger, healthier and more spiritually cleansed—with plenty of room for God.
One night, we might analyze a chapter in depth and find we all agree or possibly that we disagree with the author. Another night, the chapter might be a springboard to a related or possibly even an unrelated discussion. Then there are nights which are truly inspired and we never even mention the book!
The wealth of experience and knowledge that the women bring to the group is tremendous. From new moms to great-grandmoms, the core group of usually 15 to 20 women, guarantees a lively exchange of ideas. Grounded in our religious faith, bonded by our love of God—we invite you to join us in a laugh, a cry, a prayer, and usually a good dessert! If you want to be uplifted and renewed, have we got an evening---an Evening for Women---for you!
