How Can We Help

Typically, Sisters of the Word (SOW) serves a parish by leading one of our lectio presentations open to all. A sample of different timeframes are seen in the following options to fit various schedules: from the half-day Lectio Eucharistic Retreat to the six-week sessions of the Augustine Institute’s
Lectio: Prayer to the single 90-minute Lectio: Mary, The Annunciation session to the weekly 60-minute sessions of Lectio Lights of Advent.
God-willing,

  • Sisters of the Word can additionally lead as a stand-alone or add-on to any of the above events, either of these sessions: Lectio Lights of Advent and/or Lectio for Lent (seen above). In these sessions, we put into practice lectio divina of the Sunday readings for the corresponding liturgical season as a group (collatio). Typically, we meet for one hour weekly.
  • We provide all the marketing pieces and registration (if necessary) for any of these lectio presentations, in addition to facilitating the sessions.
  • We can also tailor the lectio event to the needs of the parish, whether it is a ministry group talk or retreat or parish-wide or catechist-focused, including lectio leader training.
  • In regards to scheduling, depending on availability, we can and have accommodated day and/or evening sessions, as needed.
  • References are also available upon request.
