Women of God: Uniquely Gifted, Uniquely Called
2026-04-18 13:00 - 16:30 | Mercy Conference and Retreat Center, 2039 North Geyer Road, St. Louis, MO, 63131, United States
As women we see the world in a way distinct from our brothers in the faith. Join liturgical composers Kathleen Basi and Katie Wills for an afternoon of reflection, music, prayer, and faith sharing as they guide us in an exploration of our vocation, not just as wife or mother, but as woman, uniquely gifted and called. The retreat is presented in four parts: 1. Calling, 2. Listening to God, 3. God prepares us for the call, 4. Living out the call.
Between them, Kathleen Basi and Katie Wills have over three dozen published songs, fifty years of service in music ministry, and 8 children. They believe in inviting women to honor God’s call in whatever form it manifests.

Stories of Our Faith: An Evening of Song, Storytelling, Prayer, and Reflection
2026-04-18 18:30 - 20:00 | Mercy Conference and Retreat Center, 2039 North Geyer Road, St. Louis, MO, 63131, United States
Stories have power. They break through the clutter and allow us to experience life through the eyes of another, and in so doing, to learn about ourselves. Our faith is rich in stories, but sometimes our reverence keeps us a step removed from them. Join us for an evening of original music, familiar songs and sing-a-longs, and storytelling interspersed with prayer and reflection with liturgical composers Kathleen Basi and Katie Wills in the Chapel at Mercy Center. We’ll bring the journey of discipleship out of the theoretical and into vivid color, letting us see its impact in the here and now. Registration is required by noon on Saturday, April 18.

Trees: Our Great Teachers and Friends (An Afternoon of Poetry)
2026-04-26 13:30 - 15:30 | Mercy Conference and Retreat Center, 2039 North Geyer Road, St. Louis, MO, 63131, United States
If you feel affection for trees and love the great poets, you will relish celebrating with like-minded others lessons and facets of the tree in rarely seen poems. Read, talk and deepen your soul work by visiting with our great teachers and friends, the trees. In poetry by Limon, Frost, Whitman, Oliver, Sze, Sarton, Rilke and others, touch the tree’s grandeur in two precious hours with Noeli Lytton, who is an eager facilitator of fine poetry. “Some humans say trees are not sentient beings, but they do not understand poetry.” JOY HARJO
