This experience is for single Catholic women, ages 18-40.

• We invite you to a day of touring, learning, visiting, laughing, eating, pondering, and praying with amazing women who are making a difference through service, community life, and prayer!
• We invite you to learn more about the mission of these religious communities and the unique ways that women religious give service as signs of God’s mercy, love, justice, and hope in our world today.
• If you have been considering a “call” to a religious life style, this would be a great place to start!
