During Lent we step aside to pray and ponder. On February 20th from 9AM-12PM, this mini-retreat is offered for women of the parish to enrich their Lenten journey. We will reflect on the mercy and compassion of our God, its fullness of expression through Jesus, and our call to be united in heart as we share the gifts of mercy and compassion with others.
