Your Vocation Calling: Discernment Retreats for Catholic Women 20-25 in September and Fall 2021

A focused retreat or vocation visit can be an insightful, inspiring step forward, moving from discernment to action in following God’s will. Honest questions about Franciscan Life and a calling as a consecrated religious are most welcome. Events include:

Career or Calling: At your decisive time of life, our Sisters respect your life experiences, perspective and gifts of those with professional responsibilities and educational goals while still young adults. Talents and background in diverse areas, from health care to education to IT skills may be part of God’s call to  Franciscan ministry.

Phone Conversation: We’re here willing to listen. Questions about the call to be a Franciscan Sister or would you appreciate talking to a trained spiritual director?  Now is a good time to take steps in discernment.

Design Your Own Convent Visit: You are invited! Visit our Wisconsin Motherhouse or convent in Wisconsin or Michigan while discerning God’s call. It is our best way of sharing our spirit. Meet some of our new sisters in Formation, and Sisters who have lived our Franciscan vocation for decades and have experiences to share. Dates can be quite flexible.

Called to Pray With Saints Francis and Clare: a Franciscan Zoom Retreat to assist with discerning a call to Franciscan Prayer and Life. Individual appointments with director daily when you are available. Immerse yourself into the prayer of Saints Francis and Clare, and discover how God is working in your life at this time in history. September 17-19

Icon Retreat: For those who desire to discern with this experience. Each retreatant will choose a saint and pray with God’s Holy One through the weekend as the icon is written. Help us set a date: call or text Sister Julie Ann at 920-323-9632 or click here: Vocation Retreat Registration
