We kicked off the morning with refreshments, prayer, introductions. Thank you Fr. Rob for getting us started with beautiful prayer and for staying with us all morning.
The first presentation was on knowing who we are and knowing how God works with us and through us. Recognizing that we are created to Soar!!! No excuses.
Then we moved on with a presentation on the Family Mission with discussions on marriage and ideas for incorporating God through activities with young children.
After that we had a presentation on Sexuality & Social Norms vs God's Intent. We touched on what St. Pope John Paul II taught in Theology of the Body and the wonderful gift of sexuality God has blessed us with to be used to unite us with God.
Then we shared lunch and discussed the previous presentations and how we all relate to the topics presented.
In the afternoon we continued with a presentation on Raising children after divorce and the challenges that come with spouses living with different morals and values.
The following presentations were on life experiences living through different types of abuse and overcoming the trauma with God's help and moving forward in helping others.
We then heard a presentation by Fr. Joseph on adoration, followed by a nice walk through the plaza to the beautiful church of Our Lady of Sorrows for Adoration and Confession.
After returning to the parish hall, we discussed concrete ideas for using the gifts God has given us to move forward with our daily lives while following God's call.
Overall, it was a great turnout, with wonderful women from Our Lady of Sorrows and Immaculate Conception Parishes in Las Vegas, St. Gertrudes Parish in Mora, San Isidro Church in Agua Fria/Santa Fe, Our Lady of Guadalupe from Villanueva, San Miguel Del Vado in San Miguel, Estancia Valley Catholic Parish, and Holy Child in Tijeras.
We are excited to see what all these wonderful women do with what they learned and shared.
