Walking Through Lent + Holy Week – A Virtual Retreat
Walking Through Lent + Holy Week
A Two-Part Virtual Retreat
Journey through Lent with The Church in the 21st Century Center's Walking Through Lent & Holy Week Retreat! This two-part virtual retreat is no-cost and will be led with author, retreat facilitator, founder of Mothering Spirit, and friend of C21, Laura Kelly Fanucci.
Part I | Walking Through Lent | Thursday, February 27th | 12–1:15pm ET | Zoom
Our faith gives us an opportunity to delve into ancient spiritual practices that awaken in us a new way to walk through Lent. Learn about the history of the labyrinth in the Church and its modern use as a place and practice of prayer. We’ll look at Lent as a time to walk with God and explore 5 ways to use the labyrinth with Scripture and prayer to guide our 40 days of preparation for Easter.
Part II | Walking Through Holy Week | Thursday, April 10th | 12–1:15pm ET | Zoom
What if we could journey through the Triduum in a whole new way this year, guided by the wisdom of the labyrinth? We’ll walk through each day of Holy Week, finding God in new places from Palm Sunday through Easter. Join us to learn how the labyrinth can lead us into the center of Christ’s suffering, death, and resurrection.
