Weekday Mass Livestream
Advent Prayer Walk
Beginning on December 8, join us for a prayer walk outside in the beautiful surroundings of the Capuchin Retreat Center. We will be walking the paved trail of the Stations of the Cross and utilizing Advent scripture, prayer, and songs. We will end at a bonfire and enjoy hot chocolate and snacks. Enjoy gazing at the stars as well as some special purple Advent lights!
Please dress for the weather and bring a flashlight.
All ages welcome!
Mass
Join the Capuchin Franciscans for Mass every Monday through Friday at 8:00 am. Note that there is no Sunday Mass offered at Capuchin Retreat at this time. We ask the faithful to worship at their home parish on Sundays.
