Family Field Trip
Save the date on May 17th (Saturday) for our family field trip to celebrate the month of Mary and our last Girls Club this year!
• We will meet at 2pm near the entrance of the Met Cloisters. Please buy tickets online in advance for your family, including husband and siblings (you can pay what you wish for the tickets if you live in NYC). We will spend ~1h visiting this amazing place.
• At 3-3:30pm, we will walk to the Mother Cabrini Shrine and say a decade of a rosary on the way.
• Kids can spend 30-40 minutes on the playground next to the Shrine.
• At 4:00pm, we will enter the Shrine and say another decade of the rosary in front of the Statue of our Lady. The May Marian pilgrimage was a favorite devotion of Saint Josemaria Escriva, the founder of Opus Dei.

• Our trip ends at 5pm.

The Art of Living for Women. Beautiful Spaces. Spring Cleaning.
“"We need beauty....Our homes cannot contain the beauty of the starry sky, the Grand Canyon, the dome of St. Peter's....But it is in our thoughtful homes that we are given the change to pause and gaze and wonder, to slow down enough to recognize beauty in familiar, homely things....In them, we learn how to respond to the beauty we encounter elsewhere: to spend a few minutes watching a glorious sunset instead of hurrying back inside to get things done, to gaze at St. Peter's instead of turning our backs for a selfie, to smile back at the smiling face of our infant daughter instead of trying to capture her smile on our phone."
(Dia Boyle, The Thoughtful Home, p. 75)
