A Message from Sister Carol Ann Petersen, March 1, 2023

As we enter the Lenten season, we all have unique paths to traverse. Like Jesus, we seek the guidance of the Spirit as we enter into our own personal deserts, filled with temptations and challenges. Without that holy guidance, we can quickly lose our way, even to the point of forgetting our destination.

As the snow and ice begin to melt and make way for more sunshine, green sprouts, and growing buds, we are reminded that there is something beyond dark days and difficulties. God’s creation speaks to us of the coming renewal of life.

As we pass through these 40 days, may we all grow in our practice of calling upon the Holy Spirit to constantly show us the way, to lead us from darkness into the light of the resurrection, the eternal destination we are all called to.

Be always assured of our prayerful support.

S. Carol Ann Petersen, OSB
Director
Sophia Center

PLEASE NOTE: We ask all guests to use their best judgment and if they are experiencing COVID-like symptoms, to please be tested and/or refrain from coming on retreat out of respect for other retreatants and staff. While masks are not required, we will have them on hand for anyone who wishes to wear one. We will continue to monitor our county COVID numbers.

Scholarship requests are easy!

Our ministry is to serve you, so if you would like to attend a retreat, but find the cost prohibitive, please don’t hesitate to make a scholarship request. We ask only a few questions. No explanations are necessary.
