Greetings from Sr. Joanie

Over the past several years, our lives have been significantly impacted by the
Coronavirus. In addition to losing our sense of security and our livelihood, many of us have lost dear friends or family members. We have felt grief, fear, and confusion. It takes time to heal wounds, and it also takes faith that we will pass through these challenging times. We can move from being a victim to being a powerful beacon in the darkness. 

Our kindness is a powerful light. The more we extend it, and the more we share it, the brighter it becomes. We can, and we will, illuminate the darkness and create an energy that is so vibrant that it changes the environment. 

During these confusing times, be bold in your love and constant in your faith. Together we will pass through the darkness and these challenging times.

I am now offering a retreat on Saturdays at Grand Terrace, from 10am to 1:30pm.
Reservations are required. Additionally, on the 3rd Saturday of each month I will be giving a retreat at St. Lucy’s Priory in Glendora. The time is also from 10am to 1:30pm. Coffee and water and snacks will be provided, but we ask you to please bring a sack lunch. A “Love Offering” is appreciated for all retreats. Make checks payable to St. Lucy’s Priory. We do not accept credit cards, only cash or checks.

For more information, or for reservations, please call 909-783-4121 (land line) or text 626-210-9017 (cell) or Email me at sisterbutterfly @sbcglobal.net

When we come together, we empower each other.

May you be blessed in abundance, 
Sr. Joan Marie Sasse O.S.B.

Letter From Sr. Joanie

2024 has finally arrived and the challenges in our personal lives and the world around us seem to be mounting. Anxiety, isolation, depression and confusion are widespread.

While things seem to be moving faster and sometimes appear to be getting worse on many fronts, the reality is there is a solution.

Come join us for a Saturday Retreat where you will discover that you are a vital part of something sacred and larger than yourself.

It is my intention to offer a retreat every Saturday at Grand Terrace from 10am to 2pm. Lunch will be served. Reservations are required. Phone 909-783-4121 (no text) or E-mail sisterbutterfly@sbcglobal.net. 
Additionally, I will be giving a retreat in Glendora on the 3rd Saturday of each month with the exception of Feb. 17th which will be held in Grand Terrace.

On Ash Wednesday, ValLimar Jensen (world known singer) and I will be directing a retreat on Wednesday, February 14, at the Priory in Glendora. We will begin at 10am and conclude at 1:30pm. Drinks will be provided but bring your own lunch. All are welcome.
