Palm Sunday
2026-03-29 10:30 - 11:30 | Kansas
Palm decorations around the altar.

Palm Sunday marks the beginning of Holy Week and commemorates Jesus’ entrance into Jerusalem, where crowds greeted him with palm branches, celebrating peace and hope. While this day is deeply significant in the Christian tradition, the themes of humility, peace, and community are universal and can be embraced by all.Palm Sunday invites us to consider our own journeys, our moments of triumph, and our challenges, and how we can bring more peace into the world.

All are welcome to join us for our procession and Mass!

Thomas Merton: Contemplative Prayer and the Search for Home
2026-03-27 19:00 - 2026-03-28 11:30 | Sophia Spirituality Center, 751 S. 8th Street, Atchison, KS, 66002
Zoom

Register

We will explore two of Thomas Merton’s major concerns — the search for one’s true home and the kind of prayer life that can bring us closer to what he called “the secret face of God.” On these topics, Merton’s writings and his personal struggles continue to provide important guidance for us today.

We will reflect on what constitutes home: where we have found it in the past and where we experience our “true home” today. Is it a place we know or a place we hope for? Is it rooted in the past; and if so, how can we return to it or recreate it wherever we are? How did Merton come to realize his own “true home”?

In the second half, we will examine Merton’s understanding of contemplative prayer, cultivated over a quarter century of monastic life, as well as the advice he offered to those seeking a contemplative life outside the monastery. We will explore how to integrate contemplative prayer into daily living so fully that, as Merton wrote in his famous essay Day of a Stranger, “What I wear is pants. What I do is live. How I pray is breathe.”

Time will be provided for private reflection, group discussion, and creative writing.

Please register by March 25.

After receiving your registration, you will receive a confirmation email from us which will be 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!

¡Disponible presencial o por WhatsApp! El libro de este mes será Una habitación propia, escrito por Virginia Woolf.

En el día 26 de marzo 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, también disponible en audiolibro.

Sobre el libro: Publicado por primera vez el 24 de octubre de 1929, el ensayo está basado en una serie de conferencias que la autora desarrolló en octubre de 1928 en colegios universitarios femeninos. Generalmente se clasifica como un argumento feminista que gira en torno a un espacio literal y ficticio para escritoras que se encuentran dentro de una tradición literaria dominada por hombres.

Can changing your story change your life? Many people are seeking to make sense of the space between what they imagined their lives would be and what they actually are.

This retreat is designed for anyone who desires time to listen deeply to the stories they are telling about their lives. Dr. Diane Millis will introduce a variety of approaches for mining meaning in our personal stories and exploring God’s presence within them.

Through prayer, reflection, writing, and conversation, Diane will guide participants in discovering more life-giving stories. As she writes in her book, Re-Creating a Life, “It’s not what we’ve experienced that defines us, but the stories we tell about our experiences.”

Join us to develop your capacity to author a story that reflects who you are now and who you are being called to become.

*Includes noon meal.

Please register by March 12.

After receiving your registration, you will receive a confirmation email from us which will be 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. Joseph, Husband of Mary
2026-03-19 00:00 - 23:59 | Kansas
Today, we honor St. Joseph, the husband of Mary and the earthly father of Jesus. Known for his humility, faith, and dedication to his family, St. Joseph is a model of quiet strength, integrity, and selflessness. Though not often in the spotlight, his role in the Holy Family is foundational, showing us the power of love and responsibility in the face of uncertainty.Today is an opportunity to reflect on his virtues and how we can embody his example in our own lives. It’s about honoring the importance of family, community, and working with integrity, while also recognizing that we all have a role to play in the stories of those around us.
