Religious Education Congress
February 23-26, 2017
 
We invite you to visit Sacred Space, created as a place of creative meditation and worship. Refresh your spirit by taking time to enjoy the quiet or  listen to music, experience art, walk the  Laudato Sí exhibit, journey the labyrinth, renew the spirit in Reconciliation, and sit in quiet prayer with our Lord.

HOURS
   Thursday 7:30 am - 4:30 pm
   Friday 10:00 am - 9:00 pm
   Saturday 10:00 am - 9:00 pm
   Sunday 10:00 am - 1:00 pm

Music & Art
Enjoy the gift of music as it ignites the spirit. Journey through our Sacred Space and reflect on the image of art both illuminating and inspiring. In response to Pope Francis' encyclical, Laudato Sí (On Care for Our Common Home), this year Sacred Space offers an experience of prayer through a multimedia exhibition in which we are invited to connect our faith with Mother Earth and, at the same time, among ourselves. The walk is enhanced with art from John August Swanson, Bro. Mickey McGrath and Sr. France White.

To help move people into action to make better choices of how we use our natural resources, the accompanying handout will be available at Sacred Space. Download the Prayer in Action document: "Living Laudato sí In Our Heart, Homes and Parishes." This is a useful tool which will empower you and your ministry to become proactive in the mission that Pope Francis has set before us: “to Care for our Common Home.”

Respondiendo a la encíclica del Papa Francisco, Laudato Sí (Sobre el Cuidado de la Casa Común), este año, el Espacio Sagrado ofrece una experiencia profunda de oración por medio de una exposición artística de multimedia en la que se nos invita a conectar nuestra fe con nuestra PACHAMAMA – la madre tierra y a la vez conectarnos unos a otros.

Descarga el documento de Oración en Acción: "Vive Laudato sí en los Corazones, Hogares y Parroquias." Este documento es una herramienta muy útil que va a “empoderarte” en tu ministerio para ser proactiva/o en la misión que el Papa Francisco ha puesto ante nosotros, la de: “Cuidar de la Casa Común.”
