Saturday
Morning
Saturday morning began with a continental breakfast, followed by the
morning session. Our
assigned table configurations were "Mixed Group" - a random
arrangement. We learned soon enough that we were at tables with other
sisters who shared the same or similar first names!
- We began with a beautiful prayer
ritual in which we were visited by St. Dominic and St. Catherine
of Siena.
- At our "mixed group" tables, we considered the four options
for reconfiguration, which we had been mailed previously. A facilitator
led the discussions and recorded the work of the table. We were given
three questions to guide
our discussions:
1) How might this option enhance our Dominican life
and mission?
2) Are there additional strengths, limitations for
this option?
3) Are there any changes you would suggest?
- After our table discussions, some tables shared their responses
with the larger group.
- We adjourned for lunch at around noon. During lunch time, a group
of compilers worked to synthesize what was said at the tables, for
distribution on Sunday.
