Women’s Weekend: Wise Women Journey in Hope
With Linda Robinson and Sister Oanh Vo, aci
January 9 - 11, 2026
Before the magi arrived, wise women were already present, traveling to tend to a laboring mother and then to her newborn son. Their gifts were simple yet practical- water, blankets, nourishment. The magi, under the guidance of a star, arrived after the birth, bringing gifts intended for a royal ruler. All journeyed in hope- for the life of a new son of Israel and for a future king.
Even in today’s troubled world, wise women journey in hope.
Join us for a weekend of prayer, reflection, celebration and creative expressions as we journey into our hearts to encounter the Source of our hope.
