Retreats & Quiet Days
Sometimes in order to better care for our souls, it is necessary to seek out quiet and time for reflection.
Advent Silent Retreat
2008 date TBA
The temptation for so many of us at this time of year is to be swept up into the chaos of our secular culture’s holiday season. This silent retreat, punctuated by a series of meditations, offers food for the soul for entering the season of Advent spiritually centered and grounded in God’s presence.

Lenten Silent Retreat
February 29–March 2, 2008
Lent is a time of of self-examination, reconciliation and amendment of life made possible by the certainty of God’s love for us. This silent retreat, punctuated by a series of meditations, aims to prepare us for looking at ourselves deeply and fearlessly as we walk through Lent, secure in the knowledge that the One who loves us into being is guiding us every step of the way. Leader of this retreat and location are to be determined. Contact: The Parish Office, 202-363-8286.
