Mary: Mother of God and Our Mother

Traditionally, the entire month of May has been a time to honor Mary, Mother of God. Join us as we look at Mary as part of our faith journey and part of our life. Guided by Fr. Gene Nickol.

All are welcome to attend the Friends Day of Prayer retreats, held monthly on the first Wednesday of the month. It is not required to attend every month, so register for one or more sessions as your schedule allows. While the presenters and topics vary, each Friends Day of Prayer typically includes pastries and conversation at 9:30am, a morning presentation at 10am, an optional Mass, a delicious lunch, short periods of free time to enjoy the grounds or shop in the bookstore, and an afternoon presentation.

Fr. Gene Nickol was ordained as a Catholic priest in 1973. In addition to serving at St. Joseph in Fullerton and St. Agnes in Catonsville, Fr. Gene has been a pastor at St. Peter in Libertytown, Holy Trinity in Glen Burnie, and Our Lady of the Fields in Millersville. He is a graduate of Mount St. Mary’s Seminary in Emmitsburg, Maryland and has been a Friends Day of Prayer presenter at Bon Secours for many years.
