Cosmic Walk Presentation at the Monastery

The Sisters of St. Benedict will hold a presentation on the Story of Creation and the Cosmic Walk at Monastery Immaculate Conception in Ferdinand on Wednesday, September 4 at 6:30 p.m. EDT at the Benedict Hospitality Center. In case of rain, it will be moved to Thursday, September 5 at 6:30 p.m. EDT. There is no charge to participate.

From the comfort of the Benedict Hospitality Center, participants will spend time hearing about the Story of the Universe and the Story of Creation as we know it based on the discoveries of scientists. Following this, there will be an opportunity to explore and experience the Cosmic Walk as a way to reflect on the presentation. Located on the grounds of Monastery Immaculate Conception, the Cosmic Walk is a walking meditation that offers a glimpse into our sacred origins. The 0.5 mile path is an easy walk through the woods, and those unable to walk the path may experience the stations via PowerPoint slides.

To attend this free event, register online at www.thedome.org/cosmic-walk, or call (812) 367-1411, ext. 2842.

The Sisters of St. Benedict in Ferdinand make up one of the largest Benedictine communities of women in the United States — over 100 members strong and thriving. They seek God through the Benedictine tradition of community life, prayer, hospitality, and service to others. By their life and work, they commit themselves to be a presence of peace as they join their sisters and brothers in the common search for God. The Monastery Immaculate Conception was founded in 1867 by four young Benedictine sisters who came to Ferdinand to teach the children of area settlers. Since then, more than 1,000 women have entered this community. Their ministries extend both beyond education and beyond Ferdinand, with members of their community serving as teachers, social workers, parish ministers, counselors, nurses, youth ministers, chaplains, librarians, and much more.
