Service Retreat Weekend Away
Feeling stressed? Want to escape the BC bubble and meet some great new people for a weekend? Come join Salt and Light on our annual fall retreat! We will be going to the beautiful Vermont countryside from Nov 13th-15th to recharge, pray, and hang out in a open and supportive community. We would love to have you (yes, YOU) there! The cost of the retreat is $40, but money will certainly not stop anyone who is interested from going. Sign up online at bc.edu/saltandlight or email Rick Rossi at rossiri@bc.edu.
WINTER RETREAT
Experience some peace and quiet on Manresa – a few days of time with yourself and God at BC's own Connors Retreat Center in nearby Dover. Hang out with great people, meet with a spiritual director, make your own schedule, and strengthen your connection with God. It runs the last week of winter break, January 13 through January 17. Check it out at bc.edu/manresa or see Rick Rossi in Campus Ministry for more information. Sign up before Thanksgiving break, by Monday, November 23.
Growing Through Grief
The support group, Growing through Grief, meets Mondays at 5pm in Cushing Chapel which is located next to Room 326 in the School of Nursing. If you or someone you know would benefit by sharing experiences related to loss and grief, attending this group might be a mutually helpful experience. Questions? Sister Mary at mary.sweeney.4@bc.edu
