The St. Catherine/St. Sebastian Women's Retreat “A Lenten Day of Reflection: Prayer, Fasting, and Almsgiving” will be held on Saturday February 21, 2026 from 8:00am-4:30pm. In this day-long retreat we will focus on our prayer stories and how they help us to keep connection with God and to serve our neighbor. We will take a deep dive into the prayer of the Church, and how different prayer forms help us to maintain our internal strength. Life can give us a few curve balls, and our goal is to remain nimble, courageous, and wise in our approach to these challenges. Remaining closely connected with God in prayer is the best way to serve the people that God sends our way, so we will practice various prayer forms throughout the day.
In the morning session we will focus on Fasting as a way to connect more deeply with God and to be ready to serve others. The afternoon session will explore Almsgiving as a way to connect in a deeper way with the world and its needs. We will end our day together with a Communal Reconciliation Service. You are encouraged to come for the whole day, but if a half day works best for you join us when you are able.
