My art piece made it with proper attribution See: http://globalsistersreport.org/spirituality/june-5-2014-4161  Actual piece is brighter and pearlized background.

A photo salsify is also on that column and is mine. Even if they made me Franciscan.

Earlier piece was at http://globalsistersreport.org/column/speaking-god/spirituality/jesus-and-women-you-are-set-free-1186

Visual column is unpaid but gives exposure.

Rudolf Lowenstein's Father's name

Dear All,

thank you for that. I do appreciate it...

My father always used his name and title - so he was known as Prince Rupert Loewenstein (or if you want the full name, Prince Rupert zu Loewenstein Wertheim Freudenberg).

Given that I am a friar, I usually just keep to fr Rudolf when being formal and (as most of you all know me) Rudolf. The formal side of things I did not really inherit!!!

love,

Rudolf

Note: Funeral is next week. His brother will preside at the Tridentine mass and Rudolf will preach. It was his father's request to have the Tridentine Mass.

Celebrate the 40th Anniversary of Inai Studio

For those of you who missed the wonderful occasion last summer when the Adrian Congregation celebrated the 40th anniversary of INAI Studio, we now have a recording of the presentation given by Sisters Barbara Chenicek and Rita Schiltz posted on our Adrian Dominican Sisters public website. You will find it under the “Publications” tab at this link:

http://www.adriandominicans.org/Publications/INAI40.aspx

The hour-long visual presentation, “INAI 40—Reflections on a Grace: The Journey of INAI,” depicts four decades of extraordinary design of contemporary sacred space. We delayed in posting it because we needed to do some work to render the beautiful images more true to the originals than the initial recording captured.

Please share the link with family and friends!

DIA Member Alyce Van Acker OP has 40 Year Retrospective Show

Adrian Sister Alyce Van Acker OP is a master of Color and a long-time member of the Dominican Institute for the Arts.  This April 2014 she is having a retrospective show called " Sharing Color". ​

​

Fine Line Creative Arts Center in St. Charles, IL will host a solo spring show in honor of Batavia resident Alyce Van Acker, O.P. The exhibit “Sharing Color” will feature selected paintings from four decades of painting. These will include a variety of sizes and techniques.

​

Alyce says,“Color – for me- is the most avidly enjoyed and magnetizing element to utilize in painting. Through it, I believe my paintings evoke a tranquil luminosity as they speak of land and atmosphere: air, space, sunlight, water and fog. At the same time, each painting is a metaphor of inner and outer experience.”

​

Van Acker, who also was Fine Line’s first painting teacher, has taught numerous drawing and painting classes since she started in 1980.

​

​The show will run from April 17 through May 23 in the Kavanagh Gallery at Fine Line, 37W570 Bolcum Road, St. Charles.  An artist’s reception will take place in the gallery from 5:30 to 8p.m.

Friday, May 2.

We all know this year's gathering is in Weber Center in Adrian from July 23-26. This is the last event at Weber Center. I hope you have considered sending in your registration and memberships.

We have happy news to report regarding our gatherings in 2015 and 2016. Through the hard work of Mary Pat Reid and Pat Daly along with the support of local membership we are happy to announce we have sites for those two gatherings. As we had shared many motherhouses have had renovations that preclude our meeting there and this has not been an easy task.

We realize some of you may need to budget for these Gatherings and so are sending you the dates and places now.

Happily both are on the grounds of Dominican Motherhouses:

DIA Gathering 2015 will take place at Heartland Spirituality Center in Great Bend, Kansas. It is a ministry of the Dominican Sisters of Peace and is located on the grounds of the Great Bend Motherhouse and has the chapel designed by INAI as well as Dominican hospitality.  It will take place Wednesday July 22 through Saturday, July 25, 2015.

 

DIA Gathering 2016 will take place at the retreat center at Racine, WI from Wednesday July 27 through Saturday, July 30, 2016.

We hope you will mark your calendars for these future gatherings.

I hope you have seen the last email which involved website opportunities for sisters and associates for the sisters grant for ncr. I hope you will take advantage of it.

Congratulations to  Alyce Van Acker OP  who is having a 40 year retrospective this month. We hope to know more soon so we can publicize it. If you are having a show or special event please let us know.

Happy Lent!
