Ursuline Sisters of Mount Saint Joseph who live at the Motherhouse, in Owensboro, western Kentucky and as far away as Kansas joined the Most Rev. Charles Thompson for a week of retreat Feb. 29-March 4, 2016, in the St. Ursula Community Room at the Motherhouse.

Thompson is bishop of the Diocese of Evansville, Ind. He was raised in Marion County, Ky., where he was taught by the Ursuline Sisters as a child. Here are some photos from the first afternoon of retreat Feb. 29.
