June 22, 2023, Adrian, Michigan – Are you a woman aged 19 or older considering God’s call for your life? If so, the Adrian Dominican Sisters invite you to a special event to “Learn, Pray, Share, and Celebrate” as you learn more about vowed Dominican life or association with us.

The event begins with lunch on Monday, August 7, 2023, and concludes at about 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday, August 8, 2023, the Feast of St. Dominic. Participants have the opportunity to:

•  engage with St. Dominic’s ways of prayer and with the early women of the Order,
•  celebrate the Feast of St. Dominic with the Adrian Dominican Sisters through common prayer and Eucharistic Liturgy, and
•  visit with Sisters and with other women who are discerning a call for their lives.

June 22, 2023, Adrian, Michigan – Beginning and experienced writers are invited to participate in The Promises of Summer: A Writing Workshop, offered in person at Weber Retreat and Conference Center from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Saturday, July 15, 2023. The workshop is facilitated by Sister Tarianne DeYonker, OP, MSW, an Amherst Writers and Artists Affiliate.

Just as it takes patience and perseverance to plant nurture a seed before it grows into a flower in the summer, so writers need nurturing activities to keep them writing when the words don’t come. Giving yourself the time to write with others may be the “fertilizer” your writing needs to thrive. 

The cost for the workshop is $60, including lunch. Registration is required and is available at www.webercenter.org; click on “programs.” Registrations may also be made by calling 517-266-4000 or emailing [email protected]. Limited scholarships are available.

Weber Center is on the campus of the Adrian Dominican Sisters’ Motherhouse, Adrian, Michigan. Traveling east on Siena Heights Drive, pass the Adrian Rea Literacy Center and turn left just before the solar panel-covered parking lot. Follow the signs to Weber Center.
