Did you ever wish you could stop the world for a day, catch your breath, and have a chance to reflect on what's really important in your life? Give yourself the gift of Cornerstone! It is an extraordinary opportunity to interact in a warm welcoming environment, share your journey, strengthen your faith, come closer to God, and grow in Christian community.
Since 1997, over 800 women have gathered, like the biblical "Women at the Well," and participated in the Cornerstone Experience renewing their spiritual life. It takes place at Immaculate Conception Church. There will be various activities, planned by women of the parish, designed to encourage growth in faith as individuals and as a community. Cornerstone is a casual gathering of ordinary women for an extraordinary experience!
WHO SHOULD ATTEND WOMEN'S CORNERSTONE?
The Cornerstone Experience is for women, 25 years and older of Immaculate Conception, St. John Neumann, and St. Catherine of Siena parishes and Immaculate Conception School. (We do have some limited space available for additional out-of-parish participation.)
