 In place of our February GNSH Associates Zoom meeting, Associates and Sisters were invited to a virtual Lenten Retreat, made available via Zoom and by phone. Entitled Live the Lent You Get, the retreat was facilitated by Christine Eberle. Her contact information can be found at www.christine-marie-eberle.com. Christine incorporated St. Marguerite’s spirituality into her reflections and included stories from her own spiritual journey and experiences in college campus ministry. Whole group and small breakout sessions consisted of reflection time and faith-sharing. Participants were appreciative of the opportunities to experience time together and to prepare themselves for Lent. Eighteen Associates, 20 Sisters, and three guests (discerning Associateship) from various geographic locations were present.
