Rejoice in Hope

Thriving in a Spiritual Recession

Many have felt the pinch of the economic recession, deprived of God, losing hope, and succumbing to the bleakness of the age. Lent is the time given us by the Church to examine our relationship with God and seek renewal in the spiritual life. Our retreat is intended to prepare us for this holy season, to recalibrate our lives and revitalize our relationship with God.
