Twenty three of our  Sisters will gather at the Motherhouse for a month-long Renewal Program. The time will be spent in Spiritual Conferences, Prayer, Community and special liturgies. The theme for this year’s Conferences will be on “Founding Women.” Some of these Carmelite Foundresses were St. Teresa of Jesus, Blessed Maria Crocifissa Curcio, Blessed Candelaria of St. Joseph, St. Joachina de Verduna de Mas, and Mother Mary of the Blessed Sacrament (Servant of God.) The second week of the Renewal Program will include  Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta, Foundress of the Missionaries of Charity. We are blessed to have as speakers Very Rev. Mario Esposito, O.Carm, and  Rev. John Horan, O.Carm.   On the third week of the program, Very Rev.  John Russell will talk  about Mother Angeline Teresa, Servant of God and  Foundress of the Carmelite Sisters for the Aged and Infirm.  Monsignor James Turro is scheduled to give the Retreat on the last week of the Program. Please join us in asking God to bless this special time together and to make it fruitful for all our participating Sisters.
