Quiet Day
​Saturday, March 23, 2019
9:30 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.

Join the St. James Daughters of the King for a quiet day of reflection on the sayings of the Desert Mothers, those women who left everything behind for a life focused on God. We will listen to them, pray with them, and consider how we can benefit from their words. Come and hear how they advise us to love God, love our neighbor, and love ourselves.
