Breakfast with Women: Energizing Spirits will be held on March 5, 2026, in Fond du Lac, WI, in downtown’s historic Hotel Retlaw. The Congregation of Sisters of St. Agnes welcomes attendees to a morning of exploring the landscape of spirituality with other women from the community. This event will invite women to pause and reflect on their personal spiritual legacy, both the joys and the struggles, and to acknowledge the grace that has guided them along the way.
Sister Anita Henning, CSA, will guide attendees to reflect on and record their spiritual legacies. This reflection has been shown to bolster meaning, dignity, hope, and agency. Some questions that you may reflect on to begin contemplating your spiritual legacy are: Who was the first person who taught you about faith? Are there others you consider spiritual mentors in your life? How does your spirituality guide you as you look toward the future?

Check-in and breakfast will be available at 7:30 a.m. The event will start promptly at 8:15 a.m. with presentation and discussion until 9:30. Attendees are welcome to stay for continued conversation with others until 10:00 a.m.

Visit www.csasisters.org/breakfast to purchase your ticket for $15 before March 1.
