More than 60 retreatants from five Dominican congregations participated in a July retreat at Weber Center in Adrian, Michigan. “In the Beginning was the Word…” was described as “a Dominican, scriptural-based retreat, aimed at deepening our rootedness in the Word of God and renewing our passion for preaching.” In the words of Sister Terry Rickard: “Great preaching, liturgy, and music; time for contemplation and sharing of the echoes of the word heard and received. It was Dominican Family at its best!”
