“There was a kind of emptiness within me… I have found not only the Truth, but also the Way. An experience that has strengthened me.”
Lenten Growth Retreat from the 13th – 15th March 2024
“The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him.” Lamentations 3:25
A soul feeding, spiritual retreat to help prepare you this Holy Lenten Season
But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face, so that it will not be obvious to others that you are fasting, but only to your Father, who is unseen; and your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
A Lenten Retreat in the waiting of the Resurrection of Christ
In Pope Francis’s 2021 Lenten message, he reminds us:
Lent is a time for believing, for welcoming God into our lives and allowing Him to make His dwelling among us. In our lenten journey towards Easter, let us remember the One who humbled Himself and became obedient, even death on a cross.”
Our Lenten weekend retreat will transform and open your heart and soul to discover the hidden treasures of Lent and Easter. Two nights and two days submerged into the tender and merciful heart of Jesus. Walk with Christ this lent and join us for this life-changing spiritual retreat, forming an intimate relationship with Christ and His sorrowful suffering. Grow stronger in faith, wisdom, and love of Christ. Heal anxieties, sicknesses, and troubles through the divine mercy of Christ.
Our Next Lenten Growth Retreat will be 13-15th March 2024
Starts: Friday 5:30 pm Concludes: Sunday 4:00 pm

With breaks throughout the day, there is always time for silent prayer and meditation around our prayerful sanctuary.
