New Challenges and Ventures in Mabou


The Congregation of Notre Dame Sisters invited and challenged a CND Associate couple to both reside and to work at their Renewal Centre in Mabou, Nova Scotia.
St. Joseph's Renewal Centre, Mabou, Nova Scotia
Carl & Peg Madigan began their new ministry at St. Joseph Renewal Centre one year ago.  The downsizing and selling of their home in Truro were a challenge but the many graces that have come into play were far greater.
Having the opportunity to live in community with the Sisters has been most rewarding, although they do have a small bungalow on site to retire to at the end of the day.

They are part of a team of four managing the Centre and working closely together with the goal to maintain and expand the usage of this beautiful facility.
Several new programs and services were offered last fall:  Catholicism 201, Discovering Christ, Advent and Lenten series, Marriage Preparation, ongoing Retreat Planning, Spiritual Direction and Prayer Companioning are also now being offered.

Peg & Carl invite you to drop a line or visit the Centre to book a retreat time.  They would be happy to see you & give you a tour.
