Calendar

The Monroe County Community College (MCCC) art club is ecstatic to present its show, live and in person, with an optimistic look to the future in a wide variety of subjects, styles and mediums. The art club is a student-led organization that aims to create a space for young artists to connect, find opportunities and hone their creative talents. The name “2020s Visions” is a double entendre, referring to the common saying “20/20 vision,” and the new decade we are entering. Attendees must wear masks, enter through the A-wing entrance and sign in for contact tracing. The exhibit is free and open to the public by appointment only (please give 48 hours’ notice). Monday through Friday from 10:30 a.m.- 4:30 p.m. For more information about the exhibit and admission, email econner@ihmsisters.org.

There will be an opening reception in the Gallery on Friday, June 10, 6:00 -7:30 p.m.

Due to a full June retreat, we added another retreat in August. Click here for details.

Take time away and enter the quiet with a silent, directed retreat. A directed retreat is an opportunity for you to have a contemplative space to live, pray, renew and meet daily with a spiritual director from our staff. Morning and evening prayers are offered daily. Enjoy the quiet and beauty of our spirituality center and the land surrounding it.

For the safety of all participants, COVID-19 protocols are in place and are consistent with the guidance of the CDC and the Michigan Department of Health.
Registration deadline: Retreat is limited to the first 6 registrations.

Have you ever gone on a trip and drove for miles without seeing any landmarks or signs or gas stations? It can be unnerving, but we persevere, trusting in a destination we cannot yet see. Our spiritual journey may be like that where we find ourselves “in-between”; we’ve moved away from something familiar and haven’t quite reached the new space. The unknown territory can be uncomfortable but also filled with potential. How can we better understand the in-between spaces of our life? What approaches and skills can help us reorient and move through these spaces? Our explorations will take us into spirituality, the in-between spaces experienced by Jesus of Nazareth and the “borderland” writings of Chicana writer Gloria Anzaldúa.

Julie Vieira, IHM, MA, (she/her) is a writer, presenter and thinker in spirituality with particular attentiveness to living the darkness and light — the poetry and rough prose — of everyday life. She serves as the Director of IHM Spirituality Ministries.
