St. Catharine, KY – Attendees for the September 7-9 Dominican Sisters of Peace Come and See retreat came from across the country – as close as Kentucky and as far away as Texas and California. The women were in different stages of discernment, came from various ethnic backgrounds and spoke a number of languages, but what brought them together was their love of Christ and the Church, and their close attention to God’s plan for their own lives.
According to the website vocationnetwork.org, 71% of those who have entered religious life and are currently in initial formation are under the age of 40. This statistic held true at the Dominican Sisters of Peace Come and See Retreat held at the St. Catharine Motherhouse and St. Catharine Farm in St. Catharine, KY, near Louisville. Of the nine women in attendance, eight were under the age of 40. In total, attendees ranged in age from 18-50.
