Nazareth Catholic Community
Janaury 27, 2023 ~ 4th Sunday of Ordinary Time
Nazareth is proud to present a series of programs in alignment with the UN Interfaith Harmony Week. These events, sponsored by Nazareth's Hickey Center for Interfaith Studies and Dialogue, Konar Center for Tolerance and Jewish Studies, and Center for Spirituality, are open to everyone. Grounded in the values of our SSJ founders, Nazareth is dedicated to promoting understanding and dialogue among different faith traditions. These programs are a testament to our commitment to fostering harmony and unity within our community and beyond. Join us as we come together to celebrate diversity and engage in meaningful conversations that promote mutual respect and collaboration. All are welcome!
Peace,
~ Jamie

William H. Shannon Chair in Catholic Studies Presents: Sophfronia Scott, M.F.A.
Scott’s writing, both fiction and nonfiction, has captured the attention of readers across our nation. She began her career as an award-winning journalist for Time with “Twentysomething,” the groundbreaking cover story identifying the demographic group known as Generation X. Her first novel, All I Need to Get By, was nominated for best new author at the African American Literary Awards, and her book The Seeker and the Monk: Everyday Conversations with Thomas Merton received the International Thomas Merton Society Louie award. Founding director of Alma College’s MFA in Creative Writing, Sophfronia invites her students into a critical dialogue around her belief in friendship, love, and joy and her conviction that words can change minds.
The Color of Thought and the Heart of Nonviolence: Developing a Personal Practice
In this student retreat, Sophfronia Scott will offer a unique opportunity to explore the intersection of personal reflection and nonviolent communication. Through guided meditations, writing exercises, and group discussions, Scott will help you cultivate a deep connection with yourself and others, fostering compassion and understanding. Drawing from her expertise as a writer and spiritual mentor, Scott will guide you in developing a personal practice that nourishes your heart and mind, allowing you to navigate conflicts and challenges with grace and empathy. This retreat offers a safe and inclusive space for you to engage in self-discovery, forge meaningful connections, and gain tools for personal growth and wellness.
Student registration is required.
