In Honor of Black History Month
Called to Encourage Others Along the Journey:
Harriet Tubman and Thea Bowman
Saturday, February 23 from 9:00 a.m. to Noon
McCabe Renewal Center


Discover the amazing stories of two brave African American women who enriched the lives of countless others. Harriet Tubman (b. 1820), called a “Modern Day Moses”, escaped from slavery and used the Underground Railroad to save more than 300 other slaves by going North with them. During the Civil War, Harriet was a nurse, a scout and a spy.
Thea Bowman, born in Mississippi in 1937, became a Catholic Franciscan Sister, the only black sister in the all-white religious order at that time. As a professor, she tried to show what it was like to be a black Catholic in the United States.

Facilitator: Sister Sarah O’Malley, OSB has authored 12 books on pastoral topics and has given many retreats both in Phoenix and Duluth on a wide variety of topics.
