In Memory of Sister Helene Lentz, CSJ
Friends and former colleagues of Helene Lentz, CSJ, remember her as a visionary, who approached each of her ministries--educator, hospital administrator, and formation director and president of the congregation--with organization and passion rooted in a strong, vibrant prayer life.
Sister Helene had been director of the Magnificat Center for 2 years and had just established the Spiritual Strengths Cancer Care program when she herself was diagnosed with cancer and died just 4 months later on December 22, 2011.
The 2012 Magnificat Center catalog of programs is one of Sister’s last projects and may be thought of as her gift to you and to those whose lives you will touch because of your attendance. May Sister Helene rest in peace.
All are invited to The Magnificat Center. Here, sacred relationships are created, strengthened and reconciled with God, the “Dear Neighbor” and all creation. Here, those who hear God’s invitation and respond, discover an atmosphere of sacred healing for body, mind and spirit. The Magnificat Center staff welcomes the opportunity to nurture relationships by facilitating programs, offering spiritual direction and hosting various types of retreats. Religious groups of all faiths are welcome to use our facilities for programs and meetings of your own design. |
