NEWS & EVENTS
God made us body and soul, and these practices are holistic, bringing these parts of us together. Encountering the weaknesses we all have and encountering God there. This is a program to facilitate a NEW encounter with God. Let’s make this Lent not just about giving up, but about being filled up in a new way!
Confessions & Adoration in the Church from 1:00 pm - 7:00 pm with multiple priests present during every hour.
FEBRUARY 28TH | 9AM - 6PM
Gina will help us reflect on how our identity and true worth can only be realized in our personal “yes” to believing and belonging to God. With grace you are enough! You cannot earn your worth, it has already been given to you! Saying “Yes” means that we are willing to fight the daily battle that love demands.
