Laughter Is the Best Medicine
Serious times demand humor as one critical means of coping. This April Fool’s Day, celebrate being a “fool for Christ’s sake” (1 Cor. 4:10) as we consider the importance of humor in a wholistic way as an integral part of our life’s journey. There will be an opportunity for story telling (using Sacred Scripture and other sources), personal reflection, and group sharing — with much laughter (and maybe some tears)!
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 informal 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. Guided by Sr. Fran Gorsuch.
