People of Light in Times of Darkness

  • Wisdom House Retreat & Conference Center 229 East Litchfield Road Litchfield, CT, 06759 United States (map)

Presented by Peggy Murphy, OP

During our own time of fear and uncertainty we will reflect on persons who teach us that courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the capacity to overcome fear, especially in service to others. We see this in the lives of Edith Stein, Max Kolbe, Corrie ten Boom, and Oskar Schindler, and allow them to light our way!

$60 | Lunch Included
