A Letter from the Director
|
Weber is humming as spring tries to break through the cold ground.
We are hosting many groups at our beautiful facilities, including a women's group from Toledo and representatives from our Sponsored Institutions.
Leading us through April, Paula D'Arcy guides a large group of Holy Week retreatants; other
programs address the topics of racism, Jesus, and new approaches to recovering from addictions. Happy spring!
Sincerely,
Sister Janet
