Upcoming Group Days of Prayer
Trust in the Lord ... Maybe?
January, 10, 2024 | Fr. Bill Oulvey, SJ
What does Trust in the Lord call from us as we see our world in such a state of distress? Do I hedge my bets with God? Do we try to “trust but verify?” In all honesty, can I be honest with the Lord?
Reconciliation: Celebrating God’s Forgiveness
February 6, 2024 | Fr. John Vowells, SJ
The Parable of the Prodigal Son is a powerful illustration of the human process of reconciliation. But is it too good to be true? We will focus on the life-giving dynamic of conversion, confession and celebration.
Ash Wednesday
February 14, 2024 | Sr. Peg Maloney, RSM
We begin this joyful season of Lent seeking to love more deeply this Jesus who experienced all things like us (except sin). Do I sense God enthusiastically pursuing me in this holy and joyful season of Lent? How will I make a choice to love more genuinely, intentionally and inclusively with Jesus? What are my experiences of temptations in the desert, healing of blindness and conversations at the well?
Faith
April 23, 2024 | Paula Sapienza
In the gospels, Jesus tells people again and again that their faith has saved them. What is this faith? What does it look like? How do we experience it in our own lives? What do we want and need more of?

Upcoming Group Weekend Retreats
Kinship with Christ - LGBTQ+ People and Families
January 26-28, 2024 | Paula Sapienza
As people of faith, we know we are God’s children and Christ is our brother. Yet our experiences of our human and church families can be fraught. How is Jesus accompanying us and seeking to draw us deeper into his kinship even in our woundedness? This retreat will provide plenty of opportunities for sharing our stories with one another.
Spiritual Exercises - Women
February 16-18, 2024 | Paula Sapienza
The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius are a profound contribution to modern spirituality. We will use key sections of the Exercises to shape periods of prayer that can give us a sense of the power of the Exercises that we can take with us throughout our lives, no matter our stage of the journey.
Giving Our Hearts to God - Men and Women
March 1-3, 2024 | Fr. John Vowells, SJ
Lent is a season that both helps us reflect on how we are living our daily lives and also gives us the opportunity to rearrange our spiritual priorities. We will focus on the traditional Lenten practices of praying, fasting, and almsgiving.
Tình Yêu Là Ở Cùng - Nam và nữ
March 8-10, 2024 | Fr. Hanh Pham, SJ
Trong tình yêu luôn luôn có một thôi thúc, nhiều khi mạnh mẽ đến mức đòi hỏi, đó là: ở cùng. Tình yêu giữa con người với người đã vậy, cả tình yêu giữa con người với Thiên Chúa cũng thế. Có một cuối tuần dành ra để tĩnh tâm trong Mùa Chay, để ở cùng Chúa cách đặc biệt, cách trọn vẹn, và để tôi nhìn lại tương quan giữa tôi với Chúa từ nhiều góc độ và thực hành đức tin của tôi bấy lâu nay, quả là ý nghĩa và cần thiết. Khóa tĩnh tâm sẽ do Lm. Phạm Đức Hạnh, Dòng Tên, hướng dẫn, mở ra cho mọi người nam và nữ, từ 20 tuổi trở lên.
Catholic Social Teaching: Praying and Acting for Justice - Men and Women
March 15-17, 2024 | Sr. Peg Maloney, RSM
Catholic Social Teaching is sometimes referred to as “our best kept secret.” In this retreat, we will prayerfully explore the rich tradition of Scripture and Social Teaching that guides our work for justice and peace in our very wounded world. Discernment about one’s individual response and community participation will be considered. How is God inviting me to carry the Good News of the Gospel into social, economic, political and educational systems where I live and work?
