Lent: Encountering the Sacred

With Sr. Betty Schumacher

February 20 - 22, 2026

Register Now

The Lenten season invites us to enter into these 40 days of spiritual transformation with an awareness of the ways the Sacred, the Divine, dwells within and among us.  This retreat will provide an opportunity to reflect upon your own Lenten journey in light of Abraham and Sarah’s encounter with God; the Samaritan woman and her conversation with Jesus that changed the direction of her life; and Mary and Martha’s bold proclamation of faith as they experienced the death and rising of their brother Lazarus.

This retreat will also provide time and space for each person to reflect upon their own call to transformation that leads to the Easter proclamation–Jesus is alive and dwelling among us.
