5-Week Retreat: “Your Sons and Daughters Will Prophesy”
The Synod of Bishops is gathering in Rome October 3-28 to prayerfully consider “young people, the faith, and vocational discernment.” This retreat is an opportunity to pray with and for youth and young adults and those who engage with them in our Church. We will pray supported by Scripture, Ignatian spiritual exercises, and some of what the Pope and bishops have heard from young people in preparation for the Synod. It is an opportunity for retreatants of all ages to draw closer to Jesus so that we might become more attentive to the prophesies, dreams, and visions the Risen Christ is sharing with us today through the young people in our Church and world.

5-Week Retreat: The Lord Goes to His Suffering for My Sins
The season of Lent is a time in our Church that draws more people than any other. Why do we seek themes of suffering, sorrow, and sin as a place to meet the living God? During this retreat, we will pray deeply on the eternal “problem of suffering” in our tradition, not simply looking for answers but more intentionally seeking the ways Jesus wants to encounter us in our suffering with compassion and mercy.

Easter Evening of Prayer: “Be Not Afraid!”
From the terrifying memories of Jesus’ passion to the strange and fearful mystery of the empty tomb, we may linger uncertainly in the Easter season with events and encounters that we cannot explain. We will spend this Easter evening heeding the words of the angel at the tomb (Matthew 28:5), looking in our prayer for the joy of the resurrected Son of God beyond any fear.
