Poetry and Prayer. Paying Attention to the Movement of God in Our Lives. Join us for an evening of paying attention to the Lenten themes of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving through the lens of poetry. National Youth Poet
Laureate Amanda Gorman writes, “there is always light if only we’re brave enough to see it, if only we’re brave enough to be it.” Together, we will pay attention to the light and hope dwelling in and among us.

Dr. Rachel Hart Winter is an ethical theologian who brings a wealth of experience in scholarly research, higher education administration and teaching, and pastoral ministry to the work of the St. Catherine of Siena Center at

Her theological interests lay at the intersection of ecology and theology, drawing from the Bible, Catholic social teaching, ecology, and feminist theory.
