We've had a busy week or two here at the House! It all started with a retreat with a local campus ministry at the UPenn. St. Mary's at Penn and associated students joined us for a weekend of prayer, Lenten reflections, and the making of prayer beads! Our house manager, Kit, even shared some of her own handmade beads formed from rose petals!

If you're in need of a quiet space to pray and re-collect yourself this Lent, our House is open to you!

Here's a little peek at some of our upcoming events at the House. This Sunday will be our Parish conversation as we anticipate our search for a new Rector. The Sunday following we will hosted a game day open to the community. And at the end of March, we will host a Lenten parish retreat. Please come join us, or reach out about visiting another time.

The view of the church from our John Donne room is one of the best! Imagine reading a nice book from this chair!

On Friday, one of our parishioners, Shushi Yoshinaga, played her first private organ recital in the church. Afterwards we hosted a reception for her friends and family at the retreat house. Conversation was lively into the evening. We are all very proud of Shushi who has worked so hard and played so wonderfully on the organ!

We had a snow storm Sunday night which gave us the most magical views! Sidewalks were shoveled and salted, so we were still able to host friends and community members for Advent Lessons & Carols!

Parishioner Holly Tuck and her mom enjoyed staying with us these past few days as Holly transitions back into college life. The spiritual patterns of the parish, the quiet, the friendship, and the tea all help ease many such transitions!

Join us in a week's time, on August 15th, for a Procession and Sung Mass at 7pm to celebrate the Feast of St. Mary, sometimes called the Feast of the Assumption or the Feast of the Dormition of Mary. Our friends from Saint Mark's, Locust Street will be with us. After Mass, we will host a potluck in our retreat house.
