You Are Not Alone: A Shelter In Place Retreat

Shelter-In-Place-Retreat.jpg

How are you feeling in this time of Global Coronavirus Pandemic and Self-Isolation? Disoriented, anxious, alone, stressed, bored, intimidated, depressed, hopeful, humbled?

We will reflect on this theme, connect with one another, and take time for individual prayer, opening our hearts to receive from the Lord.

When: Saturday, April 4, 2020, 9AM-12 PM PST
Location: Zoom Video Conference, Link provided when you register

Lenten Retreat: Speaking Honestly With The Lord

Lent 2020 Facebook promo.png

In Lent we prepare our hearts for Jesus’ passion, death, and resurrection. We take on disciplines because we desire to be more open to the Lord. Perhaps the best discipline and gift we can give to God is to have the courage to speak honestly, to say what we need to say, to clear the air. This would be an act of love and allow us to hear what the Lord will say in response.

We will reflect together on this theme and then take time individually with the Lord and open our hearts to receive from God. Join us for this afternoon retreat at the Ignatian Spiritual Life Center.

Our time together will include rest, prayer, and reflection.

When:       Saturday, March 7th, 2020 | 1-4pm

Location:  Ignatian Spiritual Life Center—1611 Oak St | San Francisco

Cost:         $50 -Contact us if you need financial assistance
