TOR Sisters Visit CCM!

We are so blessed that Sr. Mary Catherine and Sr. Maria Pio of the Franciscan Sisters, TOR of Penance of the Sorrowful Mother were able to join us at CCM for an evening of wonderful prayer and discernment!  What a joyful and Spirit-filled evening!  Thank you so much Sisters!  We began the evening with a fabulous presentation by Sr. Maria Pio on St. Ignatius' Rules for Discernment of Spirits then made our way to the Chapel for a tremendous experience of prayer in the presence of Lord in the Blessed Sacrament with incredible music provided by student musicians Alex Carroll, Nick Koeppel and Anna Essner.  The Holy Spirit was movin'!  We hope to welcome the TOR Sisters back to CCM again soon!
