Praying with the Lenten Saints (a 4-week series)
Praying with the Lenten Saints (a 4-week series)
February 18, 2027 @ 7:00 pm – 8:00 pm CST

During Lent, the Church invites us into a season of prayer, reflection, and deeper conversion — and the lives of the saints can be wonderful companions along the way. Join us as we celebrate the feast days of several special saints whose lives, witness, and wisdom offer inspiration for our own Lenten journey.
Together, we’ll explore the particular gifts these holy friends have to share with us and consider the ways their lives invite us more deeply into prayer and relationship with God. Each session will offer a combination of reflection and input, faith sharing, and time for prayer, giving us space to learn from these saints while also listening for God’s invitations in our own lives.
Come and discover how these faithful women and men might become companions for you during Lent, offering encouragement, wisdom, and inspiration as we make our way toward Easter.
Please register for the series by February 15.
After we receive your registration, you can expect to receive a confirmation email from us which will include your invoice. We never want our retreat costs to be prohibitive to anyone who wants to attend our programs and so we offer scholarships. Fill out our simple scholarship request form now!
