Through music, Scripture, reflection and storytelling, Jansen will unpack the lives of Servant of God Sister Thea Bowman, national speaker and the first African-American of the Franciscan Sisters of the Perpetual Adoration; Venerable Henriette Delille, founder of the Sisters of the Holy Family religious community; Servant of God Julia Greeley, the “Angel of Charity” to the marginalized in Denver; Servant of God Mother Mary Lange, co-founder of the Oblate Sisters of Providence; Venerable Father Augustus Tolton, the first African-American ordained to the priesthood in the United States; and Venerable Pierre Toussaint, whose generosity to the Church and poor made him known as the Father of Catholic Charities in New York.
Geared toward young adults, this webinar, presented by Colleen Thomas, explores Contemplative Life, which encompasses a network of individuals and small faith communities committed to living the contemplative dimension of the Gospel. The common desire for Divine transformation, primarily expressed through a commitment to a daily Centering Prayer practice, unites our international, interdenominational community.
