SUMMARY:Oblate Retreat & 25th Anniversary of the Oblate Community
DESCRIPTION:An anniversary is a wonderful time to revisit all that has brought the community to this moment\, celebrate all the gifts this community offers to the world today\, and to listen anew to what the oblates of Holy Wisdom are called to be as we lean into the future. This retreat will include time to tell the stories of the community’s founding and its history\, time to consider how the times have changed over this quarter century and discerning what the world today is asking of us\, and time to simply celebrate and have a good time with each other! \nThe retreat will begin on Friday night in conversation with Sister Lynne Smith\, executive director Erin Trondson\, and board member/oblate Roberta Felker who will draw out their visions and dreams for Holy Wisdom Monastery and what is needed to make dreams a reality – and the special role of the oblate community in making it so. A panel of oblates from classes across the 25 years will reflect on their experiences in the community and how they practice their oblations in the world. A time will be set aside for visioning and integration. And as always\, there will be time to be on the prairie\, to pray with the sisters\, to rest\, and to catch up with old friends and new. \nThis retreat is open to Oblates of Holy Wisdom Monastery and Oblate Candidates. \nRegister by October 20\, 2024\, on the Oblate Website!
