The “19th Annotation” is a version of the Spiritual Exercises designed for people who cannot be away for 30 days to do the Exercises as they were originally practiced. Most of the time, this “retreat in everyday life” is done by people who have daily commitments, but who feel called to pray the Spiritual Exercises.
The Exercises are extended over several months and the retreatants commit to weekly prayer practices, readings and meditations. Often, the 19th Annotation is done in small groups. The group will meet weekly to receive new material from the leader, discuss how the Exercises are going for them and share some prayer practices together. Each person in the group will also see a spiritual director for the duration of the retreat.
Dates: Every Tuesday from 1:00-2:30 PM from September 18, 2018 – May 7, 2019
Cost: $500
Retreat Directors: Sister Catherine Higgins, CSJ, and Father Philip Fogarty, SJ

To live as children of God, we know we must care for one another and care for our earth. To deepen that understanding, the ministries of Spirituality, Ecology and Justice of the Sisters of St. Joseph are joining efforts to present seasonal events this year.
This winter, we will offer an afternoon in honor of our winged brothers and sisters. Our guest speaker will inspire us with images of wildlife and our need to preserve their habitats. We will consider the effects of climate change and how we can do our part to ensure a healthy planet for all God’s creatures. Weather permitting, we will participate in the Audubon Society’s Great Backyard Bird Count. Bring your binoculars!
Date: Saturday, February 16, from 1:00-3:00 PM
Cost: There is no cost for this event but registration is requested by February 9.
