Staff were then able to choose from a range of workshops which all focused on different mystics in the Catholic tradition. Staff were introduced to the famous Trappist monk, Thomas Merton who continually encouraged people to find moments of contemplation in everyday life, Dorothy Day who bravely spoke out against the Second World War in the US much to the annoyance of most people at the time, Mother Teresa who always reminded people to start with love in any situation and the great St Francis of Assisi who was one of the first champions for advocating for care for our environment.
It was a great opportunity to gather as a Catholic community, spend time together exploring inspiring people of faith and sharing our thoughts and learnings from the day.
Have a great week.
