Introductory Lectio Divina Workshop
2023-10-28 09:00 - 12:30 | Carmel of Reno, 1950 La Fond Dr., Reno, NV, 89509, United States
Introductory Lectio Divina Workshop
Carmel of Reno, 1950 La Fond Drive, Reno, NV 89509
Saturday October 28th, 9AM – 12:30 PM
Lectio Divina is an ancient monastic way of praying the Scriptures. Come learn how to listen with the ear of your heart and allow the Word of God speak to you. Lectio Divina opens us up to discover the interior life and incrementally brings us to a deeper intimacy with God. Reflection on God’s Word, imprints the Word on one’s heart and slowly changes our attitudes and how we respond to daily life. The transforming power of Lectio Divina frees us from our falsity and over time we are shaped into the word of God we were created to be!
A commissioned presenter with Contemplative Outreach, Therese Coen, will present the Introductory Lectio Divina Workshop. If interested in attending, please reserve a place by registering with Mark Miskulin (775) 771-5889. Coffee and tea will be provided, however please bring something to share. The workshop is provided free of charge.
“If effectively promoted, Lectio Divina will bring to the Church a new spiritual springtime.” Pope Benedict XVI

National Vocation Awareness Week
2023-11-05 - 2023-11-11
National Vocation Awareness Week, celebrated November 5-11, 2023, is an annual week-long celebration of the Catholic Church in the United States dedicated to promoting vocations to the priesthood, diaconate, and consecrated life through prayer and education, and to renew our prayers and support for those who are considering one of these particular vocations. NVAW began in 1976 when the U. S. bishops designated the 28th Sunday of the year for NVAW. In 1997, this celebration was moved to coincide with the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord, which falls on January 13 in 2013. Beginning in 2014, NVAW was moved to the first full week of November.

Traditional Posada & Potluck para Young Adults
2023-12-16 18:00 - 19:00 | Our Lady of The Snows Parish
Pastoral Juvenil Invite
The Pastoral Juvenil will celebrate its Annual Posada Juvenil on December 16, 2023.
Posada means “lodging” or “inn” and is a celebration honoring the birth of baby
Jesus. It was created by the first missionaries in America, as a re-telling of the
story of how Mary and Joseph were looking for a place to stay in the days
leading up to the birth of Jesus.
Our Posada has various beautiful moments. We begin our posada by praying the
rosary, and then we go door to door singing the Posada, recalling how Mary and
Joseph were looking for a place to stay. After this, we will share traditional and
delicious food.
There are some other highlight moments like the Pastorela, which represents the
appearance of the angels to the shepherds and the difficulties they faced in
reaching the manger to worship the newborn. Also, another beautiful moment is
the breaking of the piñata. The posada’s piñata is in the shape of seven-pointed
stars that represent the seven capital sins. The breaking of the piñata and the
candies that come pouring out, represent all the gifts that Jesus brings us with
his birth, including himself, our greatest gift.
Young adults are invited to attend. We will be so happy to have you enjoying this
beautiful meaningful tradition. You can find more details in the attached flyer.

ended a relationship or are grieving the death of a loved one.
Perhaps this time of year brings back especially painful memories.

terminado una relación, o la pérdida de un ser querido.
Quizás esta temporada del año le traiga recuerdos dolorosos.

y nuestro dolor.
