Lenten Quiet Day

Saturday, March 29 from 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.

Join us for a Lenten Quiet Day in the nave on Saturday, March 29, from 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m., led by Sister Hannah Winkler, CSM, a member of the Community of St. Mary, Southern Province, for the past 10 years.

Reflecting on Jesus' question in Matthew – “Who do you say that I am?”– we will explore how our understanding of God shapes our faith. Through the often-forgotten names of God in the Old Testament, this time of quiet reflection will invite us to deepen our spiritual journey and broaden our connection to the Divine.

There is no need to register – just come with a willingness to reflect and be restored.

Please join us this Sunday for Holy Eucharist at 8:30 or 11:00 a.m. The 8:30 service will be live-streamed and available on demand for later viewing. Rev. Sarah Condon will be preaching this Sunday.

For Families: The nursery will open at 8:15 a.m. for ages 0–3 years, and the 8:30 service will include a children's homily for 3 years through 6th grade.

The 456 kids and their families enjoyed hosting 13 guests at Room in the Inn on Saturday night. The kids made beds, placed “welcome cards” on pillows, prepared dinner and lunches, and had the best time talking and laughing (and even arm wrestling!) with our kind guests!

This past Saturday, 18 ushers received their first aid and CPR training from CPR Choice, an AHA and HSI Training Center that trains over 20,000 people annually.
