Siena is a group for high school students run by Lara Piszar that meets monthly at St. John Bosco Church. The group is particularly for those who want to grow in the relationship with Jesus and knowledge of their faith. General discernment of the religious life will be a part of the programming, but the meetings will not promote specific religious communities.

We are pleased to announce that we will once again be hosting a women's silent retreat. An opportunity for women 18 years of age and older to immerse themselves in the Carmelite charism of silence and prayer, the retreat is intended to be a time 'in the desert' alone with the Lord where women can encounter more deeply the one who loves them. The retreat will take place on our beautiful Kirkwood campus and will offer Mass, a conference given by the Sisters, Eucharistic adoration, joining in the Sisters' chanting of the Divine Office, reflective time outdoors, and rest. So, grab your favorite prayer materials, throw a lawn chair in the backseat, and check our website for registration updates!
