News and Notes

The Albany Associates continue to thrive under the guidance of Sister Anne Sturges. We have seven active members, some of whom are Kenwood alums, and five RSCJs. We also have the special privilege of sharing time with the Pax Christi community at Kenwood and Teresian House in Albany.

Our ministry over the past four years has been the organization and hosting of annual three day retreats at Kenwood led by various RSCJs. These have proved to be extremely popular and have been well attended. After this year we plan on holding retreats at the Carondelet Hospitality Center of the Sisters of St. Joseph in Latham, New York.

Where and When

4th Sunday, 1:00 – 4:00 PM at Kenwood
