The retreat center is run by the Sisters of the Presentation of Mary. |
One of the statues on the property. It is my favorite statue of St Therese. |
It is a very large building that was once a hotel and then a Catholic girls schools. |
I have been going to the MJSC for 17 years . I usually go for a week-long silent retreat. It is a time for me to re-charge. |
I took this photo in the morning last year (?) It is the best time for a walk. I will be thinking of you all and thanking God for you! This is a quick up date: I have been doing a lot of canning, pictures to come...and working in the garden. Jennifer our daughter moved into their new home. Finnian was so excited and Isla Rose, the baby, is doing great. Our oldest son Jacob has been doing a lot of camping with his wife and son (our other grandson) Hunter. Tim and I celebrated our 36 wedding anniversary. And we just purchased 98 acres of land in Unity Maine, (we really can not afford it...but I am trusting that God is in control of every aspect of our lives). Justin is leaving for a long-weekend fishing trip with a friend, (he just came to the house to get the Kayaks)...he is very excited. In other news...Tim's Acoustic Neuroma, (tumor) has begun to grow. He is facing radiation treatments or surgery. Check out these two links for more information. https://www.anausa.org/learn-about-acoustic-neuroma/what-is-acoustic-neuroma http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/acoustic-neuroma/basics/definition/con-20023851 As you can see, I have so much to be thankful to God for...Please say a prayer of praise and thanksgiving on my behalf. God Is So GOOD! You are so good! You are loved! ~JMJ~ Tina |
