April 1, 2024, Adrian, Michigan – Are you – or is someone you know – discerning whether God is calling you to vowed religious life or a lay association? The Adrian Dominican Sisters offer the opportunity to pray and share experiences with other seekers during their Learn, Pray, Share, Celebrate Weekend, beginning with lunch on Saturday, April 27, 2024, and concluding at 2:00 p.m. Sunday, April 28, 2024.
 
Learn, Pray, Share, Celebrate is open to women at least 19 years of age who are discerning a call to religious life and to women and men who are discerning lay association with the Adrian Dominican Congregation.
 
During the program, participants will discover the role that 14th-century Dominican mystic and reformer St. Catherine of Siena played in the Church of her day – and how they can follow her example to “set the world on fire” through service. The weekend includes the celebration of the Feast of St. Catherine of Siena with Adrian Dominican Sisters and Associates at common prayer and Eucharistic Liturgy and a visit with Sisters, other members of the Dominican Family, and people who are discerning a call for their lives.
 
Learn, Pray, Share, Celebrate is offered for free; you are our guests. The event is hosted at Weber Retreat and Conference Center, 1257 E. Siena Heights Drive, Adrian, Michigan, on the Adrian Dominican Sisters Motherhouse Campus.
