Lent Weekend Retreat: Voices of the Season: Embracing Change!


Here we go again… “Repent, move in a new direction, start over, change your ways…!” These are the familiar sounds of Lent. It’s all about “CHANGE”—but haven’t we all had enough of that? “Change” often comes without our invitation and leaves us shaken, bewildered, or even angry.

How can we welcome “change”—both uninvited and invited? How can we make this 2024 Lenten journey like no other we’ve traveled?

This dynamic Lenten weekend retreat invites you to listen to the “Voices of the Season,” as Jesus invites the Samaritan Woman at the Well, the Man Born Blind & Lazarus…and each of us…to new beginnings!


St. John the Apostle Building 300

Check- In Begins at 4:00 pm and the retreat will end with Mass on Sunday morning
