What's Happening

August 25, 2019, Detroit – In her bittersweet, reflective final blog, Sister Nancyann Turner, OP, writes of the end of something very special in her life: her 20-year ministry at the Rosa Parks Children’s and Youth Program at the Capuchin Soup Kitchen in Detroit. In those 20 years, Sister Nancyann has helped the children of inner city Detroit to find an outlet to their challenges through art; special family holiday activities such as baking Christmas cookies and dyeing Easter eggs; work in the soup kitchen’s garden; leadership development; and the Summer Peace Camp. Read Sister Nancyann’s farewell blog. 

July 27, 2018, Adrian, Michigan – Writing can be a sacred tool, allowing us to slow down enough to see the wonders of life all around us. Sister Tarianne DeYonker, OP, a certified Amherst Writer and Artist, leads a two-part series, “Writing as a Spiritual Practice,” to help participants understand and experience the spiritual values of writing.

Sessions are from 10:00 a.m. to noon on Saturdays, August 11, 2018, and August 18, 2018, at Weber Retreat & Conference Center. During the program, participants will write, welcoming in anything that shows up at a particular moment.
