Autumn Months

O God of Creation,
you have blessed us with the changing of the seasons.

As we welcome the autumn months,may the earlier setting of the sun
remind us to take time to rest.

May the brilliant colors of the leaves
remind us of the wonder of your creation.

May the steam of our breath in the cool air
remind us that it is you who give us the breath of life.

May the harvest from the fields
remind us of the abundance we have been given
and bounty we are to share with others.

May the dying of summer’s spirit
remind us of your great promise that death is temporary
and life is eternal.

We praise you for your goodness forever and ever.

An update regarding our Reopening Plans

Dear Friends of St. Joseph Retreat Center,

I hope and pray that all of you are well as we progress to a somewhat safer stage of Covid 19.
Our empty Retreat Center has been missing all of you, and so have I and all the Staff. We think of you often, pray for you and hold you in our hearts. 

It has been a long and quiet 6 months, and we are so sorry to tell you that it is necessary for us to extend the closure of SJRC in these still uncertain times. If all goes well and we feel it is safe, we are hoping to reopen in March, 2021. Help us pray that our dreams will become a reality.

All of the cancelled programs will be rescheduled and of course some new ones will be added.

In the interim, we would like to offer a few sessions via Zoom. We will be sending another communication shortly with some possibilities including time, dates and fees. We will ask you to indicate if you are interested and able to participate in this manner.

Thank God, that due to our quarantine, all of the Sisters have been free of the virus, so we want to continue to keep them safe and all of you safe, as well.

We have not forgotten you…we do miss you and continue to pray for all of you and your loved ones.May God and St. Joseph continue to protect each of you, your homes, our country and our world in these crucial times.

Sincerely yours in Christ,
Sister Josita DiVita, FDC
