LENT! Four online retreats, one long and three short

Lent is the Church's annual long retreat.

We go on this retreat --not necessarily to a different geographical place, but to a zone of mindfulness and practice that simplifies our life and peels away its non-essentials-- in order to reconnect, deeply, with God, with Christ, with the Spirit at the heart of God's life, our life, and the life of the world.

We clear space and time to make room for the God of comfort and surprises, and to remember what is deepest and truest in our lives.



Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent in the Western churches, is February 14.

We have 
four online retreats for you to choose from this Lent. Click on the name of each retreat below for further information and registration.

One of the retreats lasts for all of Lent and Holy Week.

FEBRUARY 14 - MARCH 31:

Thomas Merton, Companion on the Way
If you prefer a shorter commitment and a more intense experience to an all-Lent-long retreat, or if you got a late start on Lent, we are offering three nine-day retreats. You may choose one or more.

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 21 - THURSDAY, MARCH 1:
Dorothy Day: Nine Days in Lent
MONDAY, MARCH 5 - TUESDAY, MARCH 13
Howard Thurman: Nine Days in Lent
FRIDAY, MARCH 16 - SATURDAY, MARCH 24:
Dorothee Soelle: Nine Days in Lent
All of these online retreats call us to simplicity, mindfulness, and holiness. Like the season of Lenten itself, they invite us to repentance and conversion, but also to joy.

Peace be with you. Please join us on the journey of Lent.
