FOREST CITY — The Ladies Guild of Immaculate Conception Church sponsored a Women’s Lenten Day of Reflection March 9.
The program started with Mass, followed by the retreat with speaker Sister Gertrude Gillette. The morning session focused on Jesus’ passion, and was based on Scripture, science (especially what has been learned from research on the Shroud of Turin), geography and history.
The second talk was looking at the Passion from the perspective of Our Lady. The ladies in attendance enjoyed socializing during the light breakfast and potluck lunch provided.
