Wishing you all Christmas Blessings
and looking forward to the New Year.
As you fill in your 2014 calendar...consider adding the Women's Retreats in the Diocese of the Rio Grande. Info about them is always available on the calendar page of this blog, as are registration forms as they become available, but here's a quick run-down so you can get the dates on your calendars:
January 18, 2PM: Who are the Daughters of the King Tea at Holy Spirit, El Paso. If you've ever wondered about this order, come and learn more.
March 1, 8:30AM: Quiet Day at Holy Faith, Santa Fe with Deborah Smith Douglas. Last year over 80 women attended and were refreshed.
March 15, 8:30AM: Lent Retreat with Bishop Vono at the Cathedral. Bishop will speak about Galatians 5.
June 13-14: Christ & Chocolate & Cherishing. The Second Annual 'pampering' retreat at San Geronimo will focus on ways to cherish ourselves as beloved of our Lord.
November 14-15: Taste & See, the 3rd Annual Retreat at the Bosque Center is a time for pausing and refreshing our souls and minds in community.
The Women's Council is also working on how to present an online study so that we can all participate no matter where we are in this far-flung diocese! Stay tuned!
Hope to see you at one or more of these events that help bring us together as a community of holy women building up the Body of Christ in the Diocese of the Rio Grande. In this way we live into our mission statement: "As women of the Diocese of the Rio Grande we work to live out this promise in retreat, fellowship, study, and ministry."
