MONROE — Sarah Quint is offering one of her favorite gifts to the IHM community: Stories.
Quint of Monroe is co-pastor of Monroe City Church, a home remodeler, an author and a Native American storyteller. She’s a citizen of the Mattaponi Nation of Tsenacomoco, Turtle Island in Virginia.
From 1-2:30 p.m. Jan. 30, Quint will share traditional and modern stories as well as songs and prayers in the community room at the Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary Motherhouse, 610 W. Elm Ave. Quint will return to the Motherhouse to tell more stories Feb. 27. The public is welcome to attend both sessions.
Attendees should enter the Motherhouse through the main door facing Elm Avenue.
Quint and the Sisters met about a year ago. Since then, she’s returned to the Motherhouse for Creation Tours, a zinnia exchange and the River Raisin Institute’s River Ritual.
“At the River Ritual, she spontaneously offered up a Native American blessing, which the Sisters really appreciated,” said Jen Shankie, the IHM’s Justice, Peace, Sustainability Office coordinator.
