Coffee & Curiosity Conversations – May 2024
The Invitational Church Circle hosted this special version of our monthly Coffee &… to help deepen relationships with the Community. With our Community’s many programs and activities, we wanted to provide a relaxed way to discover more about us, Tau Center, the Loretto/IBVM Sisters, and the Poor Clare Sisters while exploring various ways of connecting and serving.

Jubilee 2024
On June 22, 2024, we honored our 7 Jubilarians! In the weeks leading up to Jubilee, we shared posts about these incredible women and what led them into religious life.
We are thankful for the opportunity to celebrate these Sisters, their lives and their commitment to living Gospel values.
Ice Cream Social
Sisters and Associates found a cool way to beat the August heat with a delightful treat! We enjoyed outdoor games, lively conversation, refreshing cones courtesy of the Rainbow Cone ice cream truck. Time spent together in the warm sunshine was truly a blessing!
