Our employees gathered for a staff retreat on Tuesday, September 1, at the events center at Bickelhaupt Arboretum in Clinton.

The morning session was facilitated by Kait Tysver, a CliftonStrengths coach from Dubuque. Each employee completed an assessment measuring their natural patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving. Those were then categorized into 34 CliftonStrengths themes. Our employees gained self-awareness of their individual strengths, as well as learned the dynamics of their team and how all their strengths together lead to an increase in overall collaboration and performance.

The afternoon session included time to get to know our Appointed Congregational Leader, Sister Kathleen Bauer, as well as review the congregation's history, charism, and mission. Of course, they had time for food, fun, and prizes, too!

Have you ever sat on an outdoor bench at The Canticle and wondered about its history?

A large portion of a historic burr oak tree behind The Canticle split and fell to the ground. On June 18, 2010, before the remaining section of the tree could be stabilized, it succumbed to the force of a summer storm and toppled. The loss of the approximately 200-year-old tree was felt by those living at The Canticle, and two "wakes" were held to remember the tree's magnificent expression of God's creation. Furniture was made from pieces large enough to be salvaged.
