SUMMARY:Gather@Grand: Abel and Cain: Repentance\, Repair\, Reconciliation
DESCRIPTION:What: Opportunity to engage deeply with the Jewish and Christian processes of repentance\, repair\, and reconciliation in situations where significant wrong has occurred—whether between individuals or between or among larger groups of people. Jewish scholar Moses Maimonides (12th century) will guide us with his insights. \nWho: There are two ways for anyone to participate: more active\, by being part of a small group who meets in person\, discusses and strategizes issues together online\, and is recorded; less active\, by watching the group (live or the later recording) and implementing insights on their own. \nHow: We will read\, study\, and discuss Danya Ruttenberg’s On Repentance and Repair: Making Amends in an Unapologetic World (Boston: Beacon Press\, 2022)\, which explores various situations (smaller to larger\, private to public\, past to recent) where human beings have inflicted and suffered serious wrong at each other’s hands; we will also investigate ways in which amends and healing can happen—or may not. The small “live” group gathered for the sessions will engage together and share insights\, recorded for those who wish to use them “off-line.” \nWhy: to manage past injustices and hurts we have sustained and inflicted in hopes of assisting the healing process. Old wrongs consume a lot of energy\, needlessly. \nDates: Sept. 7\, 21; Oct. 5\, 19; Nov. 2\, 16\, 30\, 2026 \nFormat: active\, in-person\, small-group participation. \nZoom is offered to observe the class live (no interaction); or watch a recording on your own for quiet reflection. \nLocation: Dominican Sisters of San Rafael\, 1520 Grand Ave.\, Administration Building Large Conference Room\, San Rafael\, CA 94901 & Virtual \nOrganizer: Sr. Barbara Green\, OP \n\nRegistration link for Mon.

SUMMARY:St. Phoebe: A Prayer Gathering
DESCRIPTION:A Gather@Grand event organized by Sr. Patricia Bruno\, OP in conjunction with Discerning Deacons! \nWe celebrate the lives of many women and men saints from diverse walks of life. St. Phoebe is one of them. \nSt. Paul introduces us to Phoebe in the Acts of the Apostles (Rom 16:1-16) as the Deacon who brought Paul’s letter to the Christian Community in Rome. Her legacy offers us a beautiful\, practical invitation into conversation on how women’s leadership in the early church shines a light on our continued call to leadership and ministry in the world today. \nWe invite you to celebrate and learn about St. Phoebe at our presentation and conversation on Saturday\, Sept 12 from 1- 3 pm at the Dominican Sisters Gathering Space\, 1520 Grand Ave\, San Rafael. We will engage the Church’s Synod process of study\, attentive listening\, and respectful conversation. \nThis program is offered by Shannon Kozubik in partnership with Discerning Deacons and Sr. Patricia Bruno of the Dominican Sisters. \nPlease contact me\, Shannon\, if you have any questions. To register\, RSVP with this link: https://tinyurl.com/phoebeforum\nor by emailing shannon@kozubik.com

SUMMARY:Gather@Grand: Mother Mary Goemaere\, A California Pioneer
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER \n175th Anniversary Special Presentation\nMother Mary Goemaere—a California Pioneer: Women’s History & the Dominican Sisters of San Rafael\nPresenter: Sr. Patricia Dougherty\, OP\, PhD with Archivist Jack Doran\nPlus a visit to the Heritage Room\n  \nAs the Dominican Sisters of San Rafael continue to celebrate their 175th Anniversary\, founded just weeks after California achieved statehood in 1850\, we are pleased to present a special program honoring a woman who embodied the pioneering spirit of her age—Mother Mary of the Cross Goemaere\, the congregation’s foundress. \nBorn in Belgium in 1809 during the Napoleonic era\, Mother Mary was formed within the Dominican Monastery of the Cross\, a community founded in 1637 that endured centuries of revolution\, expulsion\, expropriation\, exile\, and wartime displacement. Hers was a formation shaped by resilience\, faith\, and fortitude. That legacy fueled the courage and vision she carried when she answered the call of Bishop Joseph Sadoc Alemany and journeyed to Gold Rush–era California\, bringing with her the social\, spiritual\, and educational foundations that helped stabilize a rapidly emerging society. \nThis program features historian and Dominican scholar Sr. Patricia Dougherty\, whose lifelong research has brought new depth to Mother Mary’s story. Drawing on decades of archival scholarship\, Sr. Patricia reconstructs Mother Mary’s remarkable journey—from her birth in Warneton\, Belgium\, through her formation in France\, to her leadership in nineteenth-century California—illuminating how women religious exercised spiritual authority\, institutional governance\, and social leadership in a male-dominated civic and ecclesial world. Setting the stage for Sister Patty’s talk\, Archivist Jack Doran will discuss the role of an archivist and some of his observations from his time with the congregation. \nThis special event includes history displays and panels as well as a visit to the Heritage Room with its archival displays of artifacts and ephemera tracing Mother Mary’s transatlantic journey and enduring legacy—and much more! \nREGISTER

SUMMARY:Gather@Grand—Friends of the Sisters: The Gospel Truth About Christmas
DESCRIPTION:The Gospel Truth About Christmas: Exploring the Canonical Infancy Accounts\n \nREGISTER \nAbout: The canonical infancy Gospels refer to the accounts of Jesus’s early life found in the New Testament—specifically the Gospels of Matthew and Luke. While the Gospels focus heavily on Jesus’s adult ministry\, death\, and resurrection\, the Gospels of Matthew and Luke offer glimpses into his origins. In this presentation\, we will explore the uniqueness of each account and how these canonical texts bridge the gap between the Hebrew Scriptures and Jesus. We will also explore the distinctive elements of each story. \nWe will look at the theological implications and how they inform and are informed by the rest of the Gospels. By examining these foundational accounts\, we can better establish how the earliest Christian writers understood who Jesus was from the very beginning of his story. \nAbout the Presenter\, Sr. Adele Gerlach\, OP: Sr. Adele Gerlach has been a Dominican Sister of San Rafael since 1955. She has dedicated her life to education  and faith formation. Sr. Adele has served in various ministries\, primarily in education over the last 60 years. She has concentrated her efforts on Adult Faith Formation during the last 30 years. She holds a Master’s in Spirituality from the University of San Francisco. Her burning desire is to share scripture with those who hunger to nourish their lives on the Word of God. Sister Adele brings theological wisdom\, warmth\, and practical pastoral experience\, making her a beloved presenter who challenges participants to deeply connect with their faith and step into their own spiritual growth. \n  \nREGISTER

SUMMARY:Gather@Grand: Abel and Cain: Repentance\, Repair\, Reconciliation
DESCRIPTION:What: Opportunity to engage deeply with the Jewish and Christian processes of repentance\, repair\, and reconciliation in situations where significant wrong has occurred—whether between individuals or between or among larger groups of people. Jewish scholar Moses Maimonides (12th century) will guide us with his insights. \nWho: There are two ways for anyone to participate: more active\, by being part of a small group who meets in person\, discusses and strategizes issues together online\, and is recorded; less active\, by watching the group (live or the later recording) and implementing insights on their own. \nHow: We will read\, study\, and discuss Danya Ruttenberg’s On Repentance and Repair: Making Amends in an Unapologetic World (Boston: Beacon Press\, 2022)\, which explores various situations (smaller to larger\, private to public\, past to recent) where human beings have inflicted and suffered serious wrong at each other’s hands; we will also investigate ways in which amends and healing can happen—or may not. The small “live” group gathered for the sessions will engage together and share insights\, recorded for those who wish to use them “off-line.” \nWhy: to manage past injustices and hurts we have sustained and inflicted in hopes of assisting the healing process. Old wrongs consume a lot of energy\, needlessly. \nDates: Sept. 7\, 21; Oct. 5\, 19; Nov. 2\, 16\, 30\, 2026 \nFormat: active\, in-person\, small-group participation. \nZoom is offered to observe the class live (no interaction); or watch a recording on your own for quiet reflection. \nLocation: Dominican Sisters of San Rafael\, 1520 Grand Ave.\, Administration Building Large Conference Room\, San Rafael\, CA 94901 & Virtual \nOrganizer: Sr. Barbara Green\, OP \n\nRegistration link for Mon.
