The Seven Sorrows of Mary
February 24
March 3, 17, 31
April 7
7:30pm | Donnellan Café
Sorrow, which was our Blessed Mother's daily bread, can sometimes cast a gray shadow over our lives. But by engaging with Mary's "dolores" through the ancient devotion of The Seven Sorrows, we can invite healing, ease suffering, and reconnect with the Trinity. Join us for a five-week study where we'll explore this devotion through Bible readings, sacred art, music, prayer, and journaling. This isn’t a pity party—it’s an opportunity to reflect on our personal sorrows in the quiet of our hearts, just as Mary did, and find release, forgiveness, and peace. All materials provided. Bring a friend and experience the healing grace together.
