SUMMARY:Aging Gracefully
DESCRIPTION:Oct. 22\, 2025  | Nov. 12\, 2025 \nFinding Meaning and Purpose for the Later Years of Life \nHave you ever thought of yourself as a ‘vessel of love’? This image speaks to what I envision for the elderhood years…\,” says Joyce Rupp\, author of Vessels of Love. “During this lifetime\, whether we’ve been aware or not\, a Presence of immeasurable love has been flowing through [our lives]\, quietly filling the vessel of our inner being. Like vats of matured wine\, our ripened goodness has readied itself to move outward. . . Now is the efficacious time to tend ‘our tiny vessel’ so this graced goodness strengthens in us and benefits the life of those we encounter.” \nBased on Rupp’s reflections\, poems and prayers on the later years of life\, the program will help you reflect\, grow and embrace this sacred stage of life with peace\, meaning and renewed intention. \nRegistration Fee includes both sessions of this program. \nFacilitator:  Sr. Linda Sevcik\, SM\, serves as Manresa’s Executive Director. Her ministerial experience includes teaching\, professional counseling and retreat and spiritual direction.

Your retreat begins at 2:00 PM; however\, you may arrive any time after 1:30 PM for refreshments and fellowship. \nFacilitator:  Fr. Robert Scullin\, SJ’s ministry includes service in the Office for Hispanic Affairs of the Archdiocese of Detroit and Hispanic and African American parishes. He served as Provincial of the Detroit Province and superior of the Colombiere Jesuit Community in Clarkston before coming to Manresa.

SUMMARY:Book Discussion: The Gift of Years
DESCRIPTION:Jan. 12\, 19\, 26 | Feb. 2\, 9\, 16\, 2026 \nThe Gift of Years is “an amazing compendium of wisdom not only for people facing aging or providing support\, but for everyone who wants to live a spiritually centered and balanced life.” Michael Lerner \nJoin us for a discussion of The Gift of Years: Growing Older Gracefully by Joan Chittister.

As a spiritual companion\, she guides others in the Spiritual Exercises and in retreats. \nZoom instructions will be emailed to registered participants prior to each session.
