A quiet “at home” retreat for those wrestling with quarantine living.
Directed by Fr. Luke Strand
Friday, March 27, 2020 - Sunday, March 29, 2020
Join Fr. Luke Strand and other quarantined Catholics on a low-tech "quiet" retreat on how to enter more deeply into the season of Lent in a world that has been upended. A "quiet retreat" is a retreat that encourages low technology use and a "quiet" house so that it is easier to enter into silence and solitude (see italic notes in the schedule for navigating the weekend as a family). We hope you join!
