We’ve all seen the bumper stickers: “Put Christ Back in Christmas”
The call of the Lenten Season is: “Put Christ Back in the Christians.”
I’m a convert to the Faith…but conversion isn’t a once-and-for-all thing. We all need to be converted to our own religion over and over.
So this year’s Lenten retreat will be a gentle reminder of what the character of a Christian actually looks like.
The day will begin with Mass with Fr. David Carter and will include inspiring teaching, the opportunity for confession, Adoration, lectio divina, and Stations of the Cross. Light lunch and refreshments will be provided.
