On Saturday, March 2nd, over 100 women from the diocese and neighboring churches gathered at Holy Trinity in Stroudsburg for a retreat on Compassion led by Presbytera Kerry Pappas. Participants enjoyed fellowship and engaging conversation and activities that explored Compassion as revealed by Christ through the Gospels and how we can give and receive compassion in our own lives. We hope to renew our efforts to hold this retreat annually for the women of our diocese.
