Franciscan Sisters of Christian Charity invite young women ages 20-35 to two unique discernment retreats this Fall. In-person and Zoom offerings are possible. Please consider dates and times. We look forward to share our Franciscan lives with you.

Event begins on Friday at 6:30-8:30 PM. Come to pray and explore how Saint Francis and St. Clare shed light on the great pillars of our Catholic Faith:

Drawing on St Francis and St. Clare’s wisdom for our times, Spiritual Director Sr. Anne Marie Lom facilitates this discernment experience, and Sr Pam Biehl leads the Friday Evening Night Prayer. Those coming in-person will have additional opportunities of interaction with the Motherhouse Community.

October 20-22 My Vocation Call: Discernment of Spirits Retreat
Are you a 20-something young woman discerning if God is calling you to religious life or to married life or to single life? Or seeking to follow His will more closely? A Franciscan Sister of Christian Charity, Sr. Jacqueline Spaniola, is offering a silent retreat, October 20-22, based on the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius.
The Spiritual Exercises are a timeless and always useful “exercise” to guide you in the spiritual life as you seek to do God’s will. Most free time will be spent in silence in order to pray and to ponder how God is working in your life. The retreat begins Friday, October 20, at 6 p.m., and ends after a noon meal on Sunday, October 22. The retreat is being held at the Franciscan Sisters of Christian Charity’s Motherhouse in Manitowoc, Wisconsin. For more information call or text 920-323-9632. $25 (scholarships available) Register for the retreat here.
