    GREEN BAY, WI, June 17, 2022 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Franciscan Sisters offer discernment designed for you, with varied online and in person experiences for those as different stages of discernment or simply seeking inspired perspective on their life's direction.

June 27 – 29: Reconciliation: Reflect, Repent, Renew and Rejoice – Led by Fr. Stephen Olds. Experience Sisters' Retreat and time for interaction with our Franciscan Community at our Motherhouse in N.E. Wisconsin

The Sacrament of Reconciliation is sometimes approached with hesitancy by religious, clergy and laity alike. This retreat offers the chance to explore the spirituality of the Sacrament through the writings of Hildegard of Bingen, Catherine of Siena, Teresa of Avila, John Paul II, Benedict XVI and Francis among others. The Sacrament provides an opportunity to discover more about ourselves, acknowledging both our need and capacity for conversion and God's invitation to recognize the depth of God's love and mercy.

September 23-25: Called to Be Franciscan - On-line Retreat: Does this describe you: Do you have a heart for the poor? Are you willing to love the less loveable? Do you desire a common life with like-minded women? Do you sense the Lord wanting to be closer to you? Is a simple life lived for the Lord attractive to you? Franciscan Sisters Sister Anne Marie Lom and Sister Cecilia Joy Kugel lead on an on-line retreat responding to these values of St. Francis. There is a group session in the evening on Friday, Saturday and Sunday at 6:30 PM Central Time.
