Celebrating Life's Gifts: A Lenten Retreat
Friday, April 3, 2020 from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. and
Saturday, April 4, 2020 from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
St. Scholastica Monastery
During our lifetime, we often overlook the gifts we have received and the gifts we have given. The season of Lent offers a time to pause and grow in awareness of these gifts and their impact. Using a meditative film, this interactive session provides participants a time to reflect individually and in small group and to name and claim these gifts through the sharing of stories with the larger group. Regardless of where we are in our life’s journey, there exists an opportunity for generosity and gratitude. As we become more mindful of giving and receiving, we grow in awareness of our gifts and talents and the importance of sharing them within our families and communities. All ages are welcome!
