SUMMARY:Interreligious Communities Project: Site Visit to St. Bernadette Catholic Church
DESCRIPTION:Join Rumi Forum and Sharing Sacred Spaces for a visit to St. Bernadette Catholic Church in Springfield\, VA! This will be an interfaith visit with representatives from at least 6 different religions present to explore the sacred space of this Catholic Church. \n“Saint Bernadette is a vibrant\, growing community whose generosity in time and talent is noted in outreach and donations. We seek to be the visible presence of Jesus Christ in the context of the daily life of our community.” \n“Our congregation tends to be more contemporary with a dedication to the teachings of Vatican II\, with an emphasis on liturgy and community development. An atmosphere of reverent silence is customary\, as we believe that Jesus is truly present in the hosts which we consecrate at Mass\, which are kept in the gold tabernacle behind the altar.” \nClick here to learn the etiquette for each sacred space here. \nAbout the event: \nThis will be an interfaith visit with representatives from at least 6 different religions present to explore the sacred space of this Catholic Church.  This visit is run by Sharing Sacred Spaces and is part of the Interreligious Communities Project taking place in Northern Virginia.  There will be 7 visits to different sacred spaces as part of this program.  There will be 7 “experiences” in fact; not just visits.  We go deep into the architectural design of each space which opens up new avenues for connecting the material and the spiritual.  Members of each congregation will also share their worldview\, spiritual journeys\, and history.  We then share a meal and dialogue.  Join us for one visit or all of them! \nAbout this community: \n \nSaint Bernadette is a vibrant\, growing community whose generosity in time and talent is noted in outreach and donations.
