Feast of St. Angela Merici
2026-01-27 00:00 - 23:59 (America/Chicago) | KS
St. Angela Merici, a trailblazer for women’s education and empowerment, showed us the power of faith and action. She founded the Ursuline Order with a vision to provide girls and women with the opportunity to grow in knowledge, self-worth, and spiritual strength. St. Angela’s life reminds us that education isn’t just about academics—it’s about nurturing the whole person: mind, body, and spirit.

Her dedication to the marginalized and her innovative approach to community-building inspire us all to create spaces where everyone can thrive. Whether you’re an educator, a caregiver, or a community builder, St. Angela’s legacy encourages us to empower others, particularly young women, to realize their full potential. Her inclusive vision of sisterhood and service transcends borders, calling us all to uplift one another.

The Feast of Saint Thomas Aquinas
2026-01-28 00:00 - 23:59 | KS
St. Thomas Aquinas devoted his brilliant mind to the service of faith, believing that reason and revelation belong together. Born to a noble family, he chose the Dominican life against expectations and spent his years studying, teaching, and writing. His work helped the Church articulate deep truths with clarity and humility. Thomas never sought praise for his intellect; instead, he saw knowledge as a path toward loving God more fully. Today we honor a saint who reminds us that thoughtful inquiry, when rooted in prayer, can lead us closer to divine wisdom.

The Feast of Saint John Bosco
2026-01-31 00:00 - 23:59 | KS
St. John Bosco dedicated his life to the young, especially those overlooked or forgotten. Growing up in poverty himself, he understood the struggles of children on the margins. As a priest, he created schools, workshops, and welcoming communities where young people could grow in faith, learning, and joy. His approach was marked by kindness, patience, and trust rather than punishment. Don Bosco believed holiness was possible through everyday goodness and cheerful service. His legacy continues through the Salesian family, still committed to nurturing hope and opportunity for youth around the world.

Exploring Image and Word: An Art/Journaling Prayer Practice (4-week series)
2026-02-05 19:00 - 20:30 | Sophia Spirituality Center, 751 S. 8th Street, Atchison, KS, 66002
Zoom

Nurturing our ability to pay attention to our lives and find the sacred in the ordinary deepens our relationship with God and is the essence of prayer. An art journal can be a wonderful place to be with and “tell about” what matters most to us. In this retreat, we will explore a practice of paying attention, playing with words and images, and transforming them into expressive art journal pages, each unique to the hand that makes them. No prior experience with art or writing is required, only an open heart and some simple supplies.

Instructions for living a life:Pay attention.Be astonished.Tell about it. – Mary Oliver

The Feast of St. Scholastica
2026-02-10 00:00 - 23:59 | KS
Happy Feast of St. Scholastica!

On this joyful feast, we remember the bold faith and spirited determination St. Scholastica displayed during the famous storm. When her brother, St. Benedict, prepared to leave after one of their treasured visits, Scholastica longed to remain a little longer, sharing sacred conversation and prayer. When he refused, she turned to God with quiet confidence, and a sudden, dramatic storm swept in, preventing his departure.

St. Scholastica dedicated her life to God through deep prayer and faithful community. Her story reveals the gentle strength of love rooted in trust, reminding us that sincere devotion can move hearts, and even the heavens.

Join us as we sing a hymn to St. Benedict and St. Scholastica!
