Welcome to Awakened by the Light, a Lenten retreat set in the spirit of renewal, reflection, and conversion. As we gather at Cascia Hall on Saturday, March 29th, at 10 AM, we enter into a sacred time to explore our spiritual journey from blindness to sight, allowing Christ’s light to transform our hearts and lives.

Throughout this retreat, we will journey together through John 9:1-41, the powerful story of the man born blind, using Lenten themes and Augustinian spirituality to deepen our reflection. We will consider how Christ calls us out of darkness into His light, illuminating the path of personal conversion and mission.

Our time together on Saturday from 10 AM to 7:30 PM will include prayer, guided reflections, silence, and shared conversation. We will return on Sunday morning at 8 AM, preparing our hearts for the 10 AM Mass in the St. Rita Chapel, where we will encounter Christ in Word and Sacrament. The retreat will conclude with a shared meal at noon, sending us forth renewed in faith and mission.

As we embark on this journey, may we open our hearts to the grace of healing and the call to discipleship, awakened by the light of Christ, who leads us ever closer to Himself.
