Lent's Coming!
Each year during Lent we strive to offer experiences to deepen our faith life and spirituality. We’ve offered missions (both with invited preachers and from within our parish community.) We have had nights of recollection, prayer services, times for reconciliation, etc. This year we are acting on suggestions of parishioners who expressed a desire for an Lent experience that involves bring together with other parishioner in small groups to share faith and to grow deeper spiritually.
So this weekend we invite you to sign up to be part of our Lenten Home Retreat. How does it work?
(a) You and about nine others meet in a small group in the home of a parishioner. There will be a group guide for each small group.
(b) Each group member will get their own Lent book to use at the meetings and beyond.
(c) The group will meet three times during Lent for about 90 minutes. You get to pick which day of the week to attend your group.
(d) We will have one large communal gathering for everyone on Wednesday, March 28th at 7:30 in Code Auditorium for a night of Adoration, Reconciliation and Prayer. (Mark it your calendar now!)
So... how about it? Sign up to be part of a Lenten Home Retreat group and enjoy sharing Lent with fellow parishioners and discover a way to grow deeper in faith. If you didn’t sign up at church, you can do so online -- go to the St. Brigid’s Website and click on the Lenten Home Retreat logo.
And thanks to the group of parishioners who make up the Parish Mission Team who are organizing this wonderful experience for the days of Lent.
