Visio Divina

Lifelong Learning | Registration opens 1/8/2025 9:00 AM EST

Visio Divina invites the viewer into "divine seeing." Visio Divina invites one to encounter the divine through images. A prayerful consideration of and interaction with an illumination from the St. John’s Bible will be the focus of each week as we learn more about this practice and begin to incorporate it into our prayer lives.  A different illumination will be provided for participants each week.

Sr. Elena Almendarez

Sr. Elena Almendarez, CDP, MA has been a Sister of Divine Providence for many years and ministered in the fields of education, parish ministry, and foster care. Sister Elena has served as a director at Roche University and Kearns Spirituality Center. Last fall, she became the Executive Director for Mission Integration and the University’s Chief Mission Officer. She looks forward to hosting programs and creating opportunities for lifelong learners, LRU staff, faculty, and students, and the greater community to connect deeper to LRU’s mission.

 

In addition, Sr. Elena has been an “obsessed” loom knitter for the past five years and loom knitted casually before that. She thinks loom knitting is fun and can be as easy or as complicated as a knitter chooses to make it.
