Almost all events submitted – if they are sponsored by a Catholic parish, school or other organization in the Archdiocese of Baltimore – will be featured in the online calendar. A human monitor will approve submissions for posting. Events submitted by the first of the month prior to the month of the event may be considered for the print edition of Catholic Review magazine (e.g., by Jan. 1 for publication in the February magazine). So that all entities in the archdiocese have a fair opportunity to be listed in the limited space in the print publication, entities will be limited to no more than two in each calendar month print edition. If more than two have been submitted, Catholic Review Media staff will decide which items to publish, at their discretion.
A Lenten Journey to the Heart – Weekend Retreat
March 14 @ 4:00 pm - March 16 @ 11:30 am EDT
$285Event Navigation
In the Scripture reading for the liturgy of Ash Wednesday, the prophet Joel says to us: “Return to me with your whole heart” (Joel 2:12). In the opening of the Confessions of St. Augustine, Augustine reminds us that our heart is restless until it rests in God. The season of Lent invites us to look into our hearts and to remember who we are as God’s people — that we are always being invited to embrace the call to ongoing conversion of heart. What is in your heart? How is your heart restless? What is the change of heart to which you are called? How does one nurture a hopeful heart? Drawing on Scripture, thoughts from St. Augustine, and other sources, we will explore these questions as part of our Lenten journey to the heart. Guided by Fr. Jim McBurney.
Check-in begins at 4pm. There will be a brief welcome session at 5:30pm, followed by dinner at 6pm. The retreat begins after dinner at 7pm on Friday and concludes before lunch on Sunday. Mass will be celebrated in the Chapel on Sunday morning for those who would like to attend.
