Check out these “virtuoso” events!
ROSE’S EVENTS
I’m offering a four-part group program
via LIVE ONLINE webinars
February 14 — March 6, 2016
Sunday evenings 7:30-9:30
Please join us for evenings of discovery and community:
The “Tidy Up Your Messy Relationships” Boot Camp:
Claim Your Road Map to Putting God’s Love into Action Every Day
In four weeks, you will:
– understand what the virtues are and why they free you from unloving habits in your relationship with God, yourself, and others
– discover which virtues apply to the areas in which you are “stuck”
– know the tools that enable you put those virtues into practice to tidy up your relationships forever
– have experienced victories in allowing the Holy Spirit to act in you in new ways, even in difficult situations
Only 10 participants will be accepted for this first series — we would love you to be one of them!
Tuition: $147 / Sign up by February 5 for the Early Bird Special! $77 for four weeks
We’re keeping the number of attendees and the tuition low because it’s our first time doing a webinar series. The gift of your feedback will help us make the next webinars even better!
You’ll attend the series from your home, hotel room, or wherever you are! And no worries about your computer — this is easy as can be and we’ll answer any questions before we start.
Email rose(at)virtueconnection.com to claim your spot or for more information. If you would like to grab one of the 10 slots, and we hope you will, you’ll get a payment link to lock in your spot for this prayerful and practical workshop that will change forever the way you interact with God, yourself, family, friends, and co-workers. You will love it!

2016 Annual Women’s Conference
“Divine Mercy in Prayer and Action”
Sponsored by the Office of Family Life and the Archdiocesan Council of Catholic Women https://adw.org/womensconference/
Rose’s presentation is entitled “A Sinner’s Guide to Mercy.”
You’ll discover what mercy really is and develop a greater hunger for it. You’ll go home with solid tips for freeing yourself up to receive and offer mercy in abundance. And we’ll have fun along the way!
Pope Francis has declared a Jubilee Year of Mercy beginning on December 8, 2015. In honor of the Year of Mercy, the conference will explore this powerful virtue. The one-day conference will be at:
Elizabeth Seton High School

The conference costs $40 and includes great speakers, great exhibitors, and lunch. A whole day to pray, celebrate, learn about and talk about God — with no cooking or cleaning! This is a very special chance to nourish your soul and mind.

Experience 2,000 years of Vatican history at The Franklin Institute. See more than 200 works of art and historically significant objects that together form a great mosaic of the history of the Roman Catholic Church and its impact on art, history, and culture. From the sights and sounds of the grand Basilica to a touchable cast of Saint John Paul II’s hand, embark on a journey through the ages of artistic expression and religious iconography.
Discover a representation of Saint Peter’s tomb as it appeared in 160 AD. The original tomb is located beneath the Vatican Grottoes. The altar of the Basilica of Saint Peter is located over this site. The tomb provides insight into Emperor Constantine’s declaration in 312 AD that Christianity would be legal and Roman Christians no longer had to practice their faith in secret. At this point in history, Christian art began to flourish.
