The Dominican Sisters of Peace are welcoming women who are discerning their call to religious life to a Virtual Mission for Peace Experience on June 5-9. This free online discernment experience is open to Catholic women ages 18-45 anywhere in the United States and will be conducted on the free Google Zoom video conference platform.
Participants in this five-day online event will have the opportunity to study and pray with the Dominican Sisters of Peace, to take part in interactive discussions and presentations and online mission opportunities. The daily schedule will consist of two daily sessions: a 90-minute morning session with prayer, an interactive presentation on topics such as ecology and care of creation, ministry to the marginalized, immigration, and prayers for discernment, and a 60-minute evening session where discerners will pray together, share their experience of service or other activities relating to the day’s topic and to reflect on God’s presence in their lives.
“While this is not a typical vocations experience, we are going to do our best to replicate the sharing and the fun of the in-person experience,” Sister Mai-dung Nguyen, vocations minister, said. “We look forward to meeting with friends who have been in discernment for some period as well as seeing new faces for this event.”
The virtual Mission for Peace Experience will begin at 4 p.m. on Friday, June 5, and conclude after prayer, a final presentation and commissioning service at 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday, June 9.
