A 2nd Monday night gathering of Salesian friends.

Dear Friends,

We are looking ahead with excitement to a new season of SALESIAN 2nd MONDAY EVENINGS.  This is a lively gathering of Visitation Sisters, Neighbors, Visitation Companions and friends for a light pot luck supper and fellowship, followed by guided conversation around a topic related to Salesian spirituality.  We close with Night Prayer.  All are welcome!

This year our theme will be “The Little Virtues.” For Francis de Sales, these are the ‘habits of the heart’ such as gentleness, patience, and kindness with which we can go about our daily lives and actions; small things we do that can make a big difference in the world!

The dates are as follows:

  • MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 9TH, 2013
  • MONDAY, OCTOBER 14th, 2013;           6:00-8:30 pm
  • MONDAY, NOVEMBER 11th, 2013    (always same time)
  • MONDAY, JANUARY 13th, 2014
  • MONDAY, FEBRUARY 10th, 2014
  • MONDAY, MARCH 10th, 2014
  • MONDAY, APRIL 14th, 2014

There will be no meeting in December.  Dinner will be provided at our first gathering.  A sheet will be passed around to sign up for bringing food and/or facilitating an evening  This is very ‘low stress’ and simply involves preparing a brief presentation and leading discussion.  Salesian materials will be readily available, and people can pair up with one of the Sisters as co-leaders.

Prior to each Salesian Monday night, there will be a brief informational meeting at the Girard House at 5:30 for those interested in learning more about the Visitation Companions.

We look forward to a rich and fruitful time of study and fellowship in the Lord.
