A casual gathering where we can have a glass of wine, socialize, hear a brief presentation, and ask questions in order to gain a deeper understanding of our faith.

Recent “Uncorked!”

September 18 @ 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm

Speaker: Maureen Day, Ph.D.

Topic: Practicing Mindfulness in the Everyday

About the topic: It has become habit for busy Catholics to bracket time off for a retreat so they can tune out of the world and tune into God. Imagine, instead, a new way of practicing your faith in which retreats were a place where you could more deeply process the intimacy, reflection, rest, and prayerfulness you were already seeing in your everyday life. Through mindfulness and intentionality, this discussion will provide participants with a new awareness of life that will open our imagination and lives to a deeper sense of holiness and God’s presence in daily living.
