***********************************************
For many, the power of the Lenten season has faded.
This three-session mission/retreat will help us experience Lent as a spiritual journey to the new life
of Easter by exploring the deeper meaning of this great Paschal Mystery, or Triduum,
in the light of the suffering we all experience as part of life.
With the help of keynote presentations, scripture, biblical art, music, singing, stories, humour,
and ritual, this retreat will help participants recover the vibrant dynamism of our faith in Jesus as Crucified Messiah and Risen Lord.
Expect an informative, formative, and transformative experience.
