November 10, 2023, Adrian, Michigan – How can we be transformed during Advent as we prepare for the coming of Christ? Through an Advent Retreat: The Potter and the Clay, Father Vic Clore offers reflections on rich Scripture readings, allowing participants to be formed by the Potter, daring to beat our swords into plowshares and building our house on solid rock.

The Advent Retreat is from 6:30 p.m. Sunday, December 3, 2023, through 11:00 a.m. Thursday, December 7, 2023, at Weber Retreat and Conference Center.

He attended Sacred Heart Seminary in high school and college and holds graduate degrees in theology from the Gregorian University in Rome and developmental psychology from Wayne State University in Detroit.

November 10, 2023, Henderson, Nevada – As we approach Thanksgiving, we can learn about gratitude from the example of Catholic school students who wrote creative thank-you notes in response to the generosity of the Dignity Health-St. Rose Dominican Hospitals community. Hospital staff donated school supplies to the children at nearby Sister Robert Joseph Bailey Elementary School.

In a Ministry Minute video, Tyler Whipkey, Vice President of Mission Integration for St. Rose, reminded employees of their donations to the school supply fund – and showcased the thank-you notes the children had created with some of the school supplies they received. 

The school was named for the Adrian Dominican Sister Robert Joseph Bailey, OP, who served for 37 years at St. Rose Dominican Hospitals and started outreach programs that provide medical and dental care to children in need, as well as volunteers to spend one-on-one reading time with the children.
