General Announcements

African-American women’s conference is Dec. 15 at Fatima Retreat House

“Touch the Hem of His Garment” is the theme for the first archdiocesan

“African-American Catholic Women’s Advent Day of Reflection” on Dec. 15 at Our Lady of Fatima Retreat House, 5353 E. 56th St., in Indianapolis.

It is based on a Scripture passage from the Gospel of St. Matthew about a woman who suffered from bleeding and was healed after touching Jesus’ robe (Mt 9:20-22).

Sponsored by the archdiocesan Office of Multicultural Ministry, the conference is intended to help African-American women deepen their spirituality and celebrate the Church’s international Year of Faith.

The keynote speaker is C. Vanessa White, an assistant professor of spirituality and director of the Augustus Tolton Pastoral Ministry Program located at the Catholic Theological Union in Chicago.

White is the author of several books. She also teaches part-time and serves as coordinator of spiritual formation at Xavier University in New Orleans.

She also ministers at the Institute for Black Catholic Studies and is an adjunct faculty member for Loyola Marymount University’s African-American Ministries Program in Los Angeles.

The retreat begins with a continental breakfast at 8:30 a.m., includes lunch and concludes after a 4 p.m. Mass in the retreat house chapel.

The cost is $15 per person.
