Dominican Sisters of Peace to host online retreat

Virtual happy hour. Virtual school, Virtual Mass. All are ways that we have adapted in the age of COVID-19.

And the Dominican Sisters of Peace are no different as they will be holding a virtual discernment retreat Sept. 11-13.

“Dominicans have always found new ways to preach the Gospel and to bring new vocations to the Church,” said Sister Bea Tiboldi, OP, vocations outreach minister. “We are blessed with the technology to continue to do so safely, even in the face of a global pandemic. We invite women who are considering their call to religious life to join us!”

The discernment retreat will give single Catholic women between the ages of 18-45 an opportunity to meet and talk with sisters and women in formation, as well as other women who are discerning their own call to religious life.

“This is a great opportunity to meet others who are discerning God’s call in their lives. The discernment retreat is an excellent way to learn about religious life and to meet the Dominican Sisters of Peace by joining them for prayer and conversation,” Sister Bea explained. “Participants will have time for quiet personal prayer and reflection, and there will be presentations on the discernment process and about the Dominican Sisters of Peace.

Also, each retreat participant will be accompanied by a sister for one-to-one spiritual guidance and help in discerning her vocation in life.

“Since we moved our events online, those who have participated have been grateful for opportunities to continue discerning their call to religious life. Online or in person, we hope that we can keep providing ways for women to gather and pray, learn, discuss and be supported as they seek God’s plan for their lives.”
