Description: As we approach the month of May—-a month traditionally devoted to Mary in the Catholic Community—-we will reflect together on some of the images and understandings of her that have come down to us from theologians and storytellers, authors, poets, and ordinary people like ourselves. Through a presentation, time for reflection and conversation, we will piece together the wisdom from those who have come to know her intimately through “visits” and “visions” of their own, and hopefully not only uncover the strength and courage of this woman of faith woven into our history, but also uncover a strength within ourselves that is truly her legacy to us.
Fee: $25
Facilitator: Mary Ruth Broz is a Sister of Mercy and familiar to many who have participated in programs at the Port.

She was Co-founder and Director of Wellstreams Center of Women’s Spirituality, co-authored Midwives of An Unnamed Future, and is presently offering spiritual direction and free-lancing out of Mercy Meeting Place in Chicago.
