To respond to the needs of our desperate world, we must look within our own hearts. We must embrace once again the truths we as humans and as people of faith and goodwill have long known: We are all one.

Join Sharon Zayac, OP, to deepen your understanding of ecospirituality and cultivate transformation within you, the ecosystem of your life, and the greater biosphere of life together: https://www.grdominicans.org/program-retreat/ecospirituality-zayac/

In this two-hour workshop, we’ll explore the deeper meaning of our connections with animals—how they invite us into presence, teach us about unconditional love, and walk with us through joy, healing, and even grief.

The Spiritual Dimensions of the Human-Animal Bond
📅 Saturday, June 13
🕕 9am – 12pm
📍 Dominican Center Marywood at Aquinas College

Whether you share your heart and home with an animal companion or are simply curious about the spiritual side of these relationships, you are welcome.

Have you ever felt that your relationship with an animal was… something more? More than companionship—something sacred, even transformative? In this two-hour workshop, we’ll explore the deeper meaning of our connections with animals—how they invite us into presence, teach us about unconditional love, and walk with us through joy, healing, and even grief.

Facilitators Ginny Mikita and Brooks Filonow invite you to explore the sacred bonds that connect us with the animals who have shaped our lives:

“A Rule of Life is a pattern of intentional habits intended to cultivate a sustained life of love with God.”

Rule of Life Refresh Retreat
📅 Saturday, June 6
🕕 9am – 12pm
📍 Dominican Center Marywood at Aquinas College

If you have a Rule (you might call it a Rhythm of Life or your guidelines for living) and are attempting to live by it, however imperfectly, but want some intentional community and time to observe with God what needs to be refreshed so you will be sustained by it, then join our Rule of Life Refresh Retreat.

05/30/2026

Facilitator Kimberley Mulder invites you to our June 6th morning retreat to refresh your Rule of Life.

As we join what God is creating in our lives, times to reflect, revisit, and refresh are vital. It is our hope that this retreat will give you that space.

A Blessing For You 🙏

Look about you!
See God’s gift of creation
as Earth opens wide her arms.

Look above you!
See the billowing clouds
and brilliant blue of the sky
showering and shining
their wonder upon you.

Look around you!
See the love of Christ
In the faces of those before you.

Enjoy these gifts!
Delight in God
as God delights in you.

~ Sister Megan McElroy, OP

Join us this Saturday, May 2 from 11:00 am - Noon for our Spiritual Formations Programs Open House!

Speak with facilitators and alumni of our core spiritual formation programs: Foundations I & II and our Spiritual Director Training. You will be able to ask questions to discern if this might be where you can grow spiritually. Snacks and beverages will be provided as we converse and you can get a feel for who we are and what we do in this space.

Before our Open House, we will be holding our Sacred Sampling Morning Retreat from 9–11am where you can experience a taste of a Foundations presentation and a retreat prayer experience.

Use me, God.
Show me how to take who I am,
who I want to be, and what I can do,
and use it for a purpose greater than myself.

~ Catherine of Siena

Today we celebrate the feast of St. Catherine of Siena!
