LOVE: HARSH AND DREADFUL?

9:30-11:30 a.m.
Facilitator: Sister Julia Walsh

One of Dorothy Day’s favorite quotes was “Love in action is a harsh and dreadful thing compared to love in dreams,” as written by Fyodor Dostoevsky. Perhaps this is because Day understood the costliness of putting love into action, of allowing love to be a verb instead of a comfy feeling or an idea. Come reflect on the power and might of love.

ANCESTRAL WOMEN EXHIBIT:

February 23 – March 3
Place: Holy Family Church
8950 County J, Woodruff, WI

This extraordinary exhibit honors women elders from each of the twelve Native American tribes of Wisconsin. These women are leaders who have held families and communities together, who have kept Native traditions, cultures and languages alive. They are the glue in the fabric of their communities. All of the almost life size designs were created by Mary Burns and woven on her hand-jacquard loom bringing honor by dignity. The hand–woven textiles connect us to the strength, beauty and determination of the women they portray. Also included in the exhibit are clan symbols and cultural/historical weavings. Mary Burns will be present to share her experiences during many of the exhibit hours. You will be amazed at the tribal giftedness portrayed in Mary’s depictions! Donations welcomed.Times open to the public will be published in area newspapers or call Holy Family 715-356-6284 or Marywood at 715-385-3750.
