Annual Brunch

.

Judy Cannato is an author, a retreat facilitator and spiritual director. She is married, with two grown sons, and is an Associate member of the Congregation of St. Joseph. She has been doing retreat ministry and spiritual direction for twenty years. Before making the transition into retreat ministry and spiritual direction, Judy taught English on the secondary level and was a member of the adjunct faculty in the Religious Studies Department of John Carroll University in Cleveland, Ohio, where her teaching assignments included Contemporary Catholic Theology and Christian Spirituality.

Judy’s Inspiration
Several years ago she began to read and reflect upon what is called the New Universe Story or the New Cosmology. The life-changing encounter excited her with its magnificence and resonated with a truth to which her own spiritual path had led: all is one. All of life, on the most fundamental of levels, is connected, and therefore all are included and held in the heart of God. Her continued reflection on connectedness through the lens of Christian scripture moved her to write her first book, Quantum Grace: Lenten Reflections on Creation and Connectedness.
