St. Rose of Lima

In 2019, we were able to enjoy a retreat at Miramar Retreat Center in Duxbury.  Miramar’s 27-acre grounds overlook Kingston Bay, yielding incredible views, lush gardens, quiet, and inspiration.   It was only a one-day retreat but it allowed us to soak in come of the holy healing energy there and those that attended felt powerfully renewed!

Our Advent Gathering/Christmas Celebration is such a special event, kicking off the beginning of Advent and our holiday busy-ness.  This event never disappoints!  It grounds us in the meaning of the season, while allowing us to celebrate with our very special group of women!
Food, fun, fellowship….and of course, wine!

We could not have an Advent Gathering in 2020 but we still wanted to acknowledge the season in some way. LaVerne Bertin, longtime club member, led us in an Advent Reflection (via Zoom).  We all received a Little Blue Book for Advent and LaVerne guided us in its use. The presentation began with a beautiful rendition of O Come, O Come Emmanuel. LaVerne reminded us of the meaning of Advent and why our relationship with God is so important. If you don’t have trust, you cannot have hope.
