Please join us for the return of our annual Lenten Series! This lecture series will take place every Wednesday over the course of five weeks and will be hosted by both the Solanus Casey Center and the Capuchin Retreat Center. Each week, from March 12 – April 9, both locations will host a Mass, a simple meal of soup and bread, and a presentation on our topic. The topic for this year is “Pilgrims of Hope”, based on the church’s Jubilee Year 2025. The presentations will highlight the lives of Saints and Blesseds who exemplified this spirit of hope in their lives and offer guidance for our own spiritual journeys.
The Solanus Casey Center will host these events during the daytime hours, while the Capuchin Retreat Center will host the same event during the evening hours, allowing you to choose which venue and time works better for your schedule.
