With Fr. Jim Piszker as presenter, sisters and oblates gathered for the 2024 Community Retreat, "Looking Inward and Outward" earlier in June. Fr. Jim, who had been a regular Sunday celebrant at the monastery until being named pastor at Holy Rosary Parish, offered reflections that challenged participants on multiple levels and at the same time inviting them to growth both personal and communal. During the retreat silence was observed in the monastery except at the evening meal. The week concluded with a desert day which offered additional time to integrate new reflections.
