Reflection from the Loretto Ministries Day at Maryholme

At the end of April, the staff of the Loretto Ministries gathered at Loretto Maryholme for a 2-day event: to become more immersed in the charism of Mary Ward and how this inspires us and resonates through our work; to follow the journey of Becoming One; and to connect as ‘one staff’ under the Mary Ward banner. 

We were blessed to have Sr Brenda Eagan from Chicago facilitate the event. Here are a few quotes from attendees.

I left feeling a powerful sense of ownership, belonging and gratitude in the group. (be)

The Loretto Ministry event was especially meaningful to me because it gave me a chance to truly connect with others as a Loretto family. The heartfelt talk on the art of listening really stayed with me—it reminded me how powerful it is to be present for one another, especially when working together as a team. (jd)

I still reflect on our get together with a smile to this day. So great to meet the Toronto team and spend some time getting to know one another. I feel incredibly blessed to be a small part of this organization. Finding out more about Mary Ward was a huge inspiration. I am humbled by all that she was able to accomplish. (sv)
