We live in a complex digital world and seem primed to be drawn into endless scrolling and constant phone checking. This presentation will describe why our brains may pull us into our phones, and how this may shape our health, mental health, and our interactions with the world around us. We will especially focus on how some individuals may be more vulnerable to the negative aspects of digital media, such as adolescent and young adults who are still experiencing brain development. Finally, we will discuss resilience factors which may prevent negative outcomes from digital media use and cover promising potential uses of digital media.
$5 per person; please register online at shalomretreats.org or by calling 563.582.3592 by Wednesday, March 4.

Three elements are important on the Lenten journey: penance (physical challenges), reflection (encountering God through others and the beauty of nature), and renewal (spiritual growth, hope and healing). These same elements are mirrored on the Camino Santiago de Compostela, an ancient pilgrimage that begins in eastern Spain and winds its way to the Tomb of St. James. Listen to the spiritual journey of a pilgrim who recently completed the Camino and how his journey helps us to encounter Lent in a new and vibrant way.
Free-will donation only; RSVPs are appreciated for in-person attendance but required for virtual attendance.  Please RSVP online at shalomretreats.org or by calling 563.582.3592 by noon on Tuesday, March 17.

If the topic of spiritual warfare piques your interest, Our Lady of Good Success Radio Network is hosting an event that explores the realities of the battle against Christianity at their half-day Christ the King Conference on Saturday, March 21, 2026. "Spiritual Warfare: Protect Your Children, Our Culture, & Our Lives" will be hosted by popular international radio evangelists, Debbie Georgianni and Adam Blai.
This ticketed event, from 8am to 1pm, will be held at Reflections Event Center at the Q Casino and Resort at 1825 Greyhound Road in Dubuque, Iowa.
Inspirational speaker and retreat master Debbie Georgianni, M.A., has dedicated over 25 years to Christian ministry in Phoenix and co-hosts Take 2 (EWTN) and The Spirit World with Adam Blai (The Guadalupe Radio Network). The Spirit World won the CMA 2025 Gabriel Award for Best Program. Blai, who has over 15 years of training the next generation of exorcists, is a Canon law graduate who has authored many books on the topic featured at Religious Demonology.  
The conference will feature a live radio broadcast of Spirit World during this event. Participants will have an opportunity to take part in the live national broadcast on the EWTN Radio Network.
According to Georgianni, many Christians want to know more about how they can best equip themselves against spiritual warfare but are not sure where to begin.
“How do we imitate the virtues of Jesus and become true disciples who become spiritually strong in a world where the battle for souls is raging? We have answers!” Georgianni stated.
One of the best ways to fight evil is to understand it, said Tom Oglesby, president of Our Lady of Good Success Productions. Open to all Christians, this ticketed conference provides the spiritual tools necessary to fight against evil forces against our children, families, and culture.
“Because spiritual warfare is literally the constant battle between the forces of God and the forces of Satan, our conference will have a positive impact for Christians. We should learn how to fight effectively against spiritual entities and powers of darkness – and this is what this conference is all about,” he said.
Seating is limited for Christ the King Conference. To purchase individual tickets, at $50 each (or $400 for a table of 8), visit online at kcrd-fm.org.
Our Lady of Good Success Productions, a network of non-profit, non-commercial radio stations including FM 98.3 KCRD-Dubuque, FM 104.7 WPBO-Platteville, and FM 106.7 KGDR-Dyersville, and FM 91.9 W220EQ-Peosta.

In 2026, we commemorate the 800th anniversary of the passing of St. Francis. In this second presentation of our four-part series, offered in collaboration with the Franciscan Federation, we consider if it is possible that an event from 800 years ago could offer insights for finding ways to bring peace in the midst of violent conflict today? This session will examine an encounter between St. Francis of Assisi and the leader of the Muslim forces during the Fifth Crusade, a period marked by intense conflict. A culture of walls divided the world of Francis and divides our world today, resulting in a "general feeling of frustration, isolation, and desperation," as Pope Francis writes in Fratelli Tutti.
Come and explore how this extraordinary encounter – and its ramifications for our time – might help us in transforming the misunderstandings and hatred which are rampant today into building blocks for peaceful dialogue and right relationship, the true intentions of God for all people.
$10 per person; please register online at shalomretreats.org or by calling 563.582.3592 by Monday, April 13.

The Seed Keeper, a 2021 fictional novel by indigenous author, Diane Wilson, weaves together the voices of four resilient women spanning several generations within a Dakhóta family. The novel’s protagonist, Rosalie Iron Wing, grows up spending time in the woods with her father, Ray, a former science teacher who tells her stories of plants, the stars, and the origins of the Dakhóta people. After her father suddenly disappears, Rosalie’s life changes forever. She is sent to live with a foster family in nearby Mankato, where she meets the rebellious Gaby Makespeace and they bond over their shared legacies of trauma.
Over the years, Rosalie must navigate her grief as she also grapples with the past. She learns to take courage and comfort in the legacy of the women who have come before her, who have protected their families, traditions and seeds throughout generations of hardship, war, and the trauma of boarding schools.
The Seed Keeper is a beautifully told story of reawakening, of remembering our original relationship to the seeds and to our ancestors.
A free-will donation is appreciated. Please RSVP online at shalomretreats.org or by calling 563.582.3592 by Wednesday, April 22. Participants may obtain a free copy of the book (while supplies last) if they are able to pick it up in person at Shalom; no books will be shipped by Shalom.

As political polarization deepens across the United States, many Americans are finding it increasingly difficult – even impossible – to have meaningful conversations with family members, friends, neighbors, and colleagues who hold different beliefs. Studies show the country is now more intensely divided than at any point since the Civil War, raising urgent questions about what is lost when communities retreat into ideological bubbles.
This virtual panel discussion features three experienced speakers in civil dialogue and cross-partisan engagement, exploring how nonviolent communication can restore trust, strengthen relationships, and help communities rebuild a healthier democracy.
A $15 suggested donation supports future programming. For more information and to register,  please contact The Prairie Retreat at www.chmiowa.org or 563.374.1092.
This program is presented by the Tri-State Network – a coalition of Catholic women religious and spirituality centers from Illinois, Iowa, and Wisconsin: Benet House Retreat Center, Dominican Sisters of Sinsinawa, Franciscan Peace Center, Our Lady of the Prairie Retreat Center, Prairiewoods Franciscan Spirituality Center, Shalom Spirituality Center, Sisters of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Sisters of the Mercy Justice Team, Sisters of St. Francis Dubuque, and Sisters of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
