Serran Retreat at The Bridgettine Sisters Convent

 
A beautiful and grace-filled day with the Serra Club of North Columbus.
We began with Mass at Holy Family Catholic Church, grounding our time together in the Eucharist. We were then blessed to hear a powerful reflection from Fr. Daniel Bowen, M.S., a Mercedarian priest, who spoke on the suffering of Christ—calling us to deeper love, sacrifice, and trust in the Lord.
It was especially meaningful to gather with the Bridgettine Sisters; Chapel and Retreat House, whose witness so beautifully reflects this message. Their motto, “My love is crucified,” is lived daily as they carry the wounds of Christ on their crown—a powerful reminder of faithful devotion and sacrificial love.
Members also had the opportunity to tour the convent grounds, where the new chapel and retreat house will be built—an exciting sign of growth and hope for the future. We were further blessed with the privilege of praying the Rosary together with Mother Eunice.
As Serrans, we continue our mission to pray for and support vocations to the priesthood and religious life. May the Lord raise up generous hearts to answer His call.
“Lord of the harvest, send laborers into Your vineyard.”

Serrans of North Columbus Enjoyed a Mini Retreat at the Bridgettine Sisters Convent

Fr Slattery at the Bridgettine Sisters Convent
The Serrans of North Columbus had a very special mini retreat at the Bridgettine Sisters; Chapel and Retreat House on Tuesday. They first gathered at Holy Family Catholic Church for Mass, then enjoyed lunch in Madonna Hall at the Bridgettine Sisters; Chapel and Retreat House. Fr. Joseph Slattery, Wildly ALIVE Catholic, filled all those gathered with inspiration and wonder. The Holy Spirit is ALIVE and well as we practice the truths of our faith. The Rosary was prayed with Mother Eunice and Sr. Jose Mary and all were invited to sit with Our Lord in the Sisters’ temporary Chapel for Adoration.
A tour was also given—despite the rain—to share all the exciting happenings on the convent grounds, including the construction of the Bell Tower, Cloister walkway, and the soon-to-be Chapel!
