The retreat registration deadline was Sunday, March 12.
Our 2023 Lenten retreat is inspired by the spirituality of the Congregation of Holy Cross and meant to be an opportunity for rest and contemplation "away" in the beautiful setting of the Sacred Heart Parish Center. Father Zack Rathke, C.S.C., will give a keynote talk on the theme "Encountering Christ through the Cross." Together we'll reflect upon inspiring excerpts from the Constitutions of the Congregation. Retreatants can opt to spend time in solitude in the chapel or grounds, or they can choose to pray as a group as they explore devotional practices in the Holy Cross tradition. Throughout the day, we will ask for the special intercession of Saint Joseph and Our Lady of Sorrows, who along with the Sacred Heart of Jesus are the patrons of the Congregation of Holy Cross.
