Sister Elizabeth has graduated

Spiritual Direction Program!

On August 15th Sister Elizabeth was on a family visit in Switzerland.  Thanks to ZOOM capability she joined her on-line classmates for their graduation from The Global Online Benedictine Spiritual Direction Program.  The two-year curriculum is designed to guide participants on their own spiritual journeys to become a compassionate listener for those who seek healing through Divine connection in the company of a spiritual companion.  The students in the two-year program spend an average of 8-10 hours per week on assignments, viewing videos and join twice monthly forum sessions.  Each student is assigned a facilitator who leads them through a practicum that includes learning the importance of ethics in the practice of spiritual direction.  The program, open to all faith traditions is sponsored by the Benedictine Sisters of Benet Hill, CO.  Sister Elizabeth joins the ranks of graduates from across the U.S. and several foreign countries. Directees who need spiritual direction may contact her at srelizabeth@ymail.com or call 352-588-7187.

 Sister Elizabeth was congratulated by the community of Benedictine Sisters of Florida at an ice cream social on Monday, August 22nd.

Catholic Schools Week

by Leave a Comment

Catholic Schools Week is celebrated every year beginning the last Sunday in January through the following Friday – January 30th – February 5th this year.  For those of us fortunate to have been educated in a Catholic school, we know the difference a valued-based education can make.

The Benedictine Sisters of Florida, as you may know, have a long history of teaching and leadership in schools across Florida and a few towns in Texas and Louisiana.  While their mission has varied in recent years depending on community needs, the Sisters continue to be involved in children’s education.  Their extensive experience in leadership, teaching and as board members is sought after by charitable organizations focused on providing a quality classroom experience for students.

A grateful applause goes to those who taught us and to

Catholic school teachers everywhere who ARE making a significant difference every day!
