SUMMARY:Women's Retreat 2024: St. Joseph\, Pray for Us!
DESCRIPTION:Please join us the weekend of February 16-18\, 2024 for our 
 annual women’s retreat which our retreat center is co-sponsoring with 
 St. Alban Roe Parish. The theme is "St. Joseph\, Pray For Us!"\nSt. Jose
 ph is known as the patron saint of many things:  foster parents\, carpe
 nters\, a happy death. This weekend retreat will focus on the person of 
 Joseph in his multiple dimensions\, many of which we rarely consider. Wh
 at was Joseph’s family history like? What was his life of prayer and f
 aith like? How might he have understood his own role in salvation histor
 y? As we explore and reflect on these characteristics of Joseph\, the re
 treat will also invite us to ponder how Joseph might be a source of insp
 iration\, intercession\, and hope for us\, too\, in our life journeys wi
 th Jesus the Christ.\n\nOur presenter for this retreat is Virginia Herbe
 rs: a teacher\, author\, and spiritual director who was born and raised 
 in South City\, St. Louis. She has a bachelor’s degree in mathematics 
 and a master’s degree in theological studies. She has ministered most 
 of her life as an educator\, teaching students of every age from kinderg
 arten through university level in Missouri\, New York\, Connecticut\, an
 d Taiwan. Currently she works at Saint Louis University as the Director 
 of Mission Formation for faculty and staff. Virginia has offered spiritu
 al direction and retreat facilitation for several years and currently se
 rves on the preaching team of several St. Louis retreat centers. Her thi
 rd book\, entitled Gifts from Friends We Never Wanted\, is due to come o
 ut in 2024.\nThis weekend retreat will begin at 7 pm on Friday night (do
 ors will open at 6:00pm) and will conclude after brunch on Sunday.\nThe 
 cost for the entire retreat is $250 per person\, which includes all pres
 entations\, accommodations\, four delicious meals (three on Saturday\, b
