Peace Day for Women: Ministry, A Gift From God
With Sr. Mary Thorne, CSJP
February 18, 2026
Peace Day for Women is a half-day retreat program designed for women who seek to deepen their spiritual lives in the company of others. Each retreat offers a blend of teaching, silent reflection, and group sharing, providing a nurturing space for spiritual growth and connection.
This month’s session, “Ministry, a Gift from God,” will be led by Sr. Mary Thorne, CSJP who always brings a quiet strength and a reflective spirit to her retreats. Drawing inspiration from Scripture, Sr. Mary will invite participants to reflect on the ways God calls each of us to serve — sometimes in ways we may not even recognize as ministry. Through gentle storytelling and shared reflection, the session will offer a space to rediscover how our everyday actions can become sacred expressions of love and service.
As always, spiritual direction will be available for those seeking deeper personal reflection, with 25-minute sessions offered by our beloved friend Lisa Dennison from SEEL, at 11:30 a.m., 12:30 p.m., 2:00 p.m., and 2:30 p.m.
Please note: While Peace Day for Women sessions are livestreamed, they are not held via Zoom.
