A Letter from the Director
|
As I write this, over 70 women and men are spending the week here at Weber participating in a special retreat focused on the Dominican charism. Next week, individuals seeking private directed retreats will be wandering our halls. Summer allows time for reflection and renewal. We welcome these seekers and the graces they bring to us.
Beyond the quiet, Weber Center itself is being renewed. New furniture for our Garden Level has arrived and carpeting was laid in the INAI building (INAI
---- a Japanese word meaning "within or inside"), which is now being repurposed as an art gallery and reflection space. Also, a new railing along the North Entrance walkway is being constructed.
Stay tuned for our fall program of events and offerings coming soon.
Sincerely,
Sister Janet
