What's Happening

January 3, 2022, Adrian, Michigan – Dominican Saints Thomas Aquinas and Catherine of Siena both wrote extensively on the need for virtue in the life of a Christian. Pope Francis also focused on virtue in his letter, Rejoice and Be Glad.

Sister Geneal Kramer, OP, a Dominican Sister of Adrian, explores these insights and the ways we can internalize virtues in our life journey. Her presentation, The Pursuit of Justice and Other Needed Virtues, is offered via live stream from 1:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. EST on Tuesday, January 18, 2022. 

Sister Geneal, a retreat director and spiritual director, was a Professor of Practical Theology for St. Norbert College and Mount St. Mary Seminary in Cincinnati, Ohio. She also ministered at Lumka Institute in South Africa in the formation of lay ministers and was affiliated with the Canossian Spirituality Center in Albuquerque, New Mexico, as a spiritual director and a presenter in its sabbatical program.

The workshop is free and donations are appreciated. Registration is not required. The live stream is available at https://webercenter.org/justice.
