Sisters’ Retreat 2018

The Summer Retreat for Women Religious brought Ursuline Sisters and sisters from other communities to the Mount Saint Joseph Conference and Retreat Center for the week of July 15-20, 2018.

Sister Carol Marozzi, SSJ, a Sister of Saint Joseph of Chestnut Hill, led the retreat on the power of forgiveness and the power of “now.” Here are some photos from July 17 in the Saint Angela Room of the Retreat Center.
