Forty Weeks
An Ignatian Path to Christ
With Sacred Story Prayer

A Yearly Program to Help Your Parish
Live the New Evangelization

Led by:  Fr. Bill Watson, S.J.

Fr. William Watson, S.J., president and founder of Sacred Story Institute, has been working for thirty years to unlock the richness of Ignatian Spirituality for parish renewal.  Forty Weeks: An Ignatian Path to Christ with Sacred Story Prayer is the most fully resourced parish Ignatian program available today.  Forty Weeks helps parishes accomplish what Sherry Weddell in her important book: Forming Intentional Disciples says is needed for activating the new evangelization that Popes from St. John Paul II to Francis has been calling individual Catholics and parishes to make a reality.

This workshop will include the theological and spiritual components of Forty Weeks presented by Fr. Watson.  It will also include presentations from laity and clergy from Seattle Archdiocesan parishes who have been successfully implementing the Forty Weeks program in their parishes.

Jesus tells us “You are the light of the world. A city set on a mountain cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and then put it under a bushel basket; it is set on a lampstand, where it gives light to all in the house. Just so, your light must shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your heavenly Father.” (Matthew 5:14-16)

 

St. Catherine of Siena declared “Be who God wants you to be and you will set the world afire.”

 

God is calling women from every path of life to be a light in the darkness and to recognize the amazing power love has over sin and death through the saving action of Jesus’ death and Resurrection.

 

I invite you to and join me as we spend a weekend together drawing upon the wisdom of Godly women in Scripture and in our Saints. We will find practical ways to break through the darkness that so often surrounds us. Come and join me as we “Go Light Our World”.
