Quiet Saturdays at St. John's Convent
Quiet Saturdays begin with a gathering and coffee time at 9:30 am in the Refectory, followed by a talk by the leader at 10:00 am. The rest of the morning is time for your own silent prayer and reflection, and we gather for the Eucharist at 12 noon.
Following the Eucharist, participants may join the Sisters for a silent hot dinner in the Refectory, or may eat a bag lunch with conversation in one of the meeting rooms.
A second talk will follow at 1:30 pm. The rest of the afternoon is for your own silent prayer and reflection. There will be a closing session at 3:30 pm, with departures by 4:00 pm.
Quiet Saturdays have a limited number of participants, usually 25. See registration page here »
