July 4-July 27, 2025
As many of you know, we are currently renovating our Guest House. It is our sincere hope to be able to offer the Women at a Crossroads program for 2025.
If you are interested in applying for the 2025 Woman at a Crossroads program, please email Sr. Dorothy at convent@ssjd.ca. We will add your name to our list of interested participants and reach out once we have a firmer idea of if we are able to offer the program.
Who is this Program For?
For women who are intentionally committed to seeking God’s guidance in living out their baptismal call:
- in business or professional careers
- in homemaking
- in lay careers in the church
- in volunteer work
- in missions at home & abroad
- in ordained ministry
- in monastic life
- in the many other ways in which we may serve God
GOALS OF THE PROGRAM
The program helps women discern where God may be calling them, through:
- Engaging in classes and discussions about Christian life and vocation.
- Receiving personal guidance in deepening their prayer life.
- Sharing the life of a Christian community committed to a balanced life of prayer, service, study, rest, and recreation.
COST
There is no charge for room and board, but participants contribute to the life of the community by sharing in the Sisters’ work. A tax-deductible donation may be made to the Sisterhood but is not required.
To benefit most fully from the program, participants should commit to staying for the full three and a half weeks.
