Spirit & Life: Lenten Retreat - Encountering Suffering (An Invitation to Communion)

  • St. Augustine's Seminary 2661 Kingston Road Toronto, Ontario, M1M 1M3 Canada (map)

Join us for Spirit & Life: Lenten Retreat - Encountering Suffering (An Invitation to Communion)!

Only human beings suffer and ask the question, “Why?” This Lenten Retreat will explore the Christian meaning of human suffering and how the cross of Christ forever unites suffering with Love. We will ponder the gift that comes from solidarity in suffering and discover anew the goodness of human life and love, even in the midst of challenges. Join us as we contemplate the Lord’s invitation to love and discover the power of His resurrection in our lives.

In-person attendance only: $50 Admission (Includes pastries, coffee and tea on arrival, as well as lunch. Mass, Confession, and Adoration will also be offered)
