The Feast of St. Lucy
2025-12-13 00:00 - 23:59 (America/Chicago) | Kansas
St. Lucy shines as a witness of steadfast faith during the early centuries of the Church. Her name means “light,” and her courage reflects that meaning. St. Lucy chose Christ above wealth, status, and even personal safety. Although threatened for her beliefs, she remained firm, trusting God completely. Her story has inspired Christians for generations, especially during the dark days of winter when hope can feel dim. Today we ask her to guide us toward the true Light who never fades. May her feast strengthen our resolve to live with clarity, integrity, and compassion for those who struggle.

The Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe
2025-12-12 00:00 - 23:59 | Kansas
On this joyful feast, we remember Our Lady of Guadalupe, who appeared to St. Juan Diego with the tender face of a mother who understands the suffering of her children. Her image on the tilma reveals God’s closeness to the poor, the Indigenous, and all who carry heavy burdens. She reminds us that every person is valued and held in God’s heart. Millions have found hope and comfort in her message of unity, dignity, and compassion. As we celebrate today, may Our Lady of Guadalupe draw us toward deeper faith and help us build a community rooted in love.

Club de Lectura en Español
2025-12-11 11:00 - 12:00 | Keeler Women’s Center, 759 Vermont Ave, Suite 100 - B, Kansas City, KS, 66101, United States
Disponible presencial o por WhatsApp! El libro de este mes será Los Cuatro Acuerdos: Una guia practica para la libertad personal escrito por Dr. Miguel Ruiz.

En el dia 11 de diciembre se discutirá el libro donde se invita a todas las participantes a compartir su punto de vista. El libro lo puede conseguir en cantidad limitada en Keeler Women’s Center, tambien disponible en audiolibro.

Sobre el libro: Miguel Angel Ruiz publicó Los Cuatro Acuerdos en 1997, consiguiendo un éxito rotundo a nivel mundial. Sin embargo, para su publicación, reunió los cuatro acuerdos de la cultura tolteca, una cultura mesoamericana anterior a la llegada de los europeos que formó parte de la cultura azteca, desde el año 600 d. C. hasta el 1200 d. C. En esta cultura, reinaban cuatro principios fundamentales: Se impecable con tus palabras. No tomes nada como personal. No adivines ni supongas. Haz siempre lo máximo lo mejor posible.

Estos cuatro acuerdos se enfocan a vivir en armonía con nosotros mismos y con nuestro entorno. En lugar de verse como reglas a seguir, pueden interpretarse como objetivos para el crecimiento personal y espiritual. Y además, como base para convivir en paz con quienes rodean. Estos acuerdos son ideales para manejar momentos y situaciones difíciles sin perder la compostura, priorizando la humildad, la modestia, la buena comunicación y la voluntad de crecer. En la práctica, los cuatro acuerdos pueden aplicarse a todo tipo de situaciones y entornos difíciles, incluyendo el entorno laboral y empresarial, y son invaluables para la resolución de conflictos. Y es por eso que este libro se ha popularizado tanto en el mundo profesional. sto en números limitados.

The Feast of St. Juan Diego
2025-12-09 00:00 - 23:59 | Kansas
St. Juan Diego, a humble Indigenous man from Mexico, encountered the Mother of God on Tepeyac Hill in 1531. He carried her message of compassion to the bishop with patience and courage, even when his words were questioned. The miracle of roses and the image on his tilma revealed heaven’s tender concern for the poor and overlooked. St. Juan Diego’s quiet strength continues to encourage disciples everywhere. He shows us that God often chooses simple, faithful people to share divine love with the world. May his feast inspire us to listen carefully for God’s voice and to respond with humility.

The Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception
2025-12-08 00:00 - 23:59 | Kansas
Today we celebrate the Immaculate Conception, the mystery of Mary being preserved from sin from the moment of her existence. This gift prepared her to receive Christ with complete freedom and unwavering trust. Mary’s purity is not distant from us. It speaks of God’s desire to create in every heart a place where grace can take root. As we honor her, we remember that she walks with us in all our struggles, offering the gentle guidance of a mother. May this feast renew our hope, deepen our love for Christ, and draw us closer to the One who saves.

The Feast of St. Nicholas
2025-12-06 00:00 - 23:59 | Kansas
Happy feast of St. Nicholas, a bishop remembered for quiet generosity and compassionate leadership. Living in the fourth century, St. Nicholas used his inheritance to support struggling families, protect vulnerable children, and offer help without seeking praise. Many of the legends surrounding him reflect his deep concern for human dignity and his steady trust in God’s providence. His life reminds us that holiness often grows through small, hidden acts of mercy. As Advent continues, may St. Nicholas encourage us to give with cheerful hearts, care for those who are overlooked, and bring a sense of wonder and hope to others.

Register

Join us as we seek to learn more about the five women mentioned in Matthew’s Gospel as part of Jesus’s genealogy. We will look at the stories of these women to discern why it was important to the Gospel writer to mention them by name. Some questions we will consider include: Who are these women? Who are they in relation to Jesus? How are they significant, not only in their own right, but what is their significance in being included in this Gospel?

This retreat will primarily be lecture-style with time for questions and comments. Plan to have your Bible on-hand when we meet.

Please register by December 1.

After receiving your registration, you will 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, so we are pleased to offer scholarships. Fill out our simple scholarship request form now!

The Feast of St. Francis Xavier
2025-12-03 00:00 - 23:59 | Kansas
Today we honor St. Francis Xavier, one of the Church’s great missionaries. Born in Spain and formed by St. Ignatius of Loyola, St. Francis carried the Gospel across India, Japan, and the islands of Southeast Asia. He traveled by boat, walked village paths, learned new languages, and welcomed every person he met with patience and courage. His heart burned with the desire to bring Christ’s love to those who had never heard His name. May St. Francis inspire us to step beyond what feels comfortable and share faith through simple kindness, joy, and openness to the people placed in our path.

Are you looking for the perfect retreat to begin the Advent season? This is it.

In today’s fast-paced culture, it is not uncommon to feel stressed, overworked, isolated, and unbalanced. Benedictine spirituality offers a different way. The Rule of St. Benedict, which guides the sisters of Mount St. Scholastica and all Benedictine communities, invites a life of harmonious living within ourselves, with one another, and with the earth. In this retreat we will explore some of the foundations of Benedictine spirituality through the elements of music and poetry: rhythm, silence, melody, and harmony. This experiential retreat will offer time for prayer, reflection, creative expression, and discussion.

*Includes one-night stay in a private room, breakfast and lunch on Wednesday. Our time together will begin with a social on Tuesday at 6:00 p.m.

Please register by November 25.

After receiving your registration, you will 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, so we are pleased to offer scholarships. Fill out our simple scholarship request form now!
