The Annual SJF Sophia Women's Retreat took place at Weber Center in Adrian Michigan on April 16-18. The theme, Turing Toward Life offered participants an opportunity to pray and reflect on the metaphor of Turning and how all our lives are fueled by the inward and outward energy of God in the Holy Spirit. One activity pictured showed the retreatants braiding rag rugs while reflecting on the "turns" they have experienced in their own lives. As always, it was a weekend of input, friendship, sharing and reflection.

The retreat is open to all women of the SJF community as well as family members and friends. We look forward to the 25th annual Sophia retreat in Adrian on April 9-11, 2010. Mark your calendars and plan on attending! For more information contact Nancy Mason Bordley at Parishserv@aol.com.
