This retreat, co-led with Mary Blankenship, will be held again during Lent 2025 (exact date TBD).

An interactive experience of reflection, prayer, awareness and response about the reality of war’s impact on the children of the world. This retreat opens us to the horror of that reality … acknowledges the helplessness that it can engender in us … but most importantly, focuses on concrete steps we can take as individuals to nurture hope for the entire world. “Let there be peace on earth, and let it begin with me.”
