Contemplative Mandalas
2025-03-07 10:00 - 15:00 | Sophia Spirituality Center, 751 S. 8th Street, Atchison, KS, 66002
On-site

Register

While we know many types of prayer such as spiritual reading, lectio divina, liturgies, and contemplative prayer, few people are aware of praying with the spiritual art of the mandala. This Contemplative Mandala workshop introduces a method of prayer that is—as all prayer is—relational, healing, and insightful. One need not know how to draw, for all that becomes in the created piece is the work of the Spirit. The Contemplative Mandala reveals the beauty of our inner being. This prayer art method was introduced to Sharon on a silent retreat and since then has remained a deeply personal experience of intimacy with the Spirit through the years. You are invited to explore the mandala art prayer in the sacred space of the Sophia Center.

Please register by February 28.

After we receive your registration, you can expect to receive a confirmation email from us which will include your invoice. We never want our retreat costs to be prohibitive to anyone who wants to attend our programs and so we offer scholarships. Fill out our simple scholarship request form now!

Salvation—Come Down From The Tree
2025-03-05 10:30 - 11:30 | Sophia Spirituality Center, 751 S. 8th Street, Atchison, KS, 66002
Zoom

Register

Join us for a Guided Meditation on the theme of salvation that Jesus offers to us all. For this meditation, we will focus on the story of Zacchaeus and how he is called by Jesus to come down from the sycamore tree to receive the gift of salvation. Here we are reminded that Jesus offers this gift to each of us, despite our unworthiness and lack of faithfulness. In our meditation, we will be invited to let go, to risk climbing down from our perch, and to be open to sharing at the table—accepting the salvation Jesus has claimed for us.

Our time together will include scripture reading, a guided meditation, quiet private reflection time, group sharing, and a closing prayer.

Please register by February 28.

After we receive your registration, you can expect to receive a confirmation email from us which will include your invoice. We never want our retreat costs to be prohibitive to anyone who wants to attend our programs and so we offer scholarships. Fill out our simple scholarship request form now!

Ash Wednesday
2025-03-05 00:00 - 23:59 | KS
Ash Wednesday marks the start of Lent, inviting reflection and renewal for all. The ashes remind us of our humanity — “Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return” — urging us to reflect on life’s fragility and the chance for growth. Whether you’re part of a faith community or simply seeking personal transformation, this tradition is for everyone. The ashes symbolize humility, renewal, and the opportunity to live with purpose and kindness. You’re invited to pause, reflect, and grow — together.

Photo: Did you know, the ashes for Ash Wednesday come from the palms of the previous Palm Sunday?

Ashes will be available to receive after both masses on March 5th-7:45 am mass in the Choir Chapel, and the 11:15 am in the St. Lucy Chapel.

Guests, please use the Dooley Center entrance.

The Feast of Saint Walburga
2025-02-25 00:00 - 23:59 | KS
St. Walburga, a beacon of faith and devotion, is celebrated for her missionary work in the 8th century. Born in England, she journeyed to Germany where she helped spread Christianity, founding monasteries and bringing spiritual guidance to many. Known for her piety, courage, and dedication, St. Walburga became one of the first women saints venerated in the Germanic lands. Her feast day, February 25, is a reminder of the power of faith and service. Let us draw inspiration from her legacy and seek to live with the same commitment to faith, love, and community.
