injustice through education and action by the Dominican family. She

inequity. Please contact Calista at calista@herberts.org

Meeting
Greg kicked off the meeting
with a prayer for All Souls Day and then
transitioned into the next set of modules in “The Life and Spirit of St.
Dominic:” Formative encounters. These modules focused on the Life
as a Canons Regular and Dominic
Encounters The New World. We broke out into small groups
after each module to discuss the following questions posed at the end of
each module.
Life as a
Canons Regular
- What
is the current reality teaching you?
- What
invitation does it hold for you?
Dominic
Encounters The New world
- These
encounters in Dominic’s life deepened his convictions: God is
here, all is sacred, grace abounds. How do these convictions
shape your own life journey? Is there one you feel drawn to grow
in?
Additional
