Lent to Easter Reflection Booklets

Through Scripture, reflections, and questions for personal and group use, the Office for the New Evangelisation’s combined Lent to Easter Reflection Booklet supports individuals, families, ministries, and communities as we journey inward to receive God’s love more deeply, and outward to share that love with others. Our Lenten practices do not end with Lent, but continue into Easter, where we renew our baptismal call to live as God’s holy people.<br>

Parishioners who are experiencing the pain, grief, or loneliness of a broken marriage, divorce, or separation can join us at the Church of the Holy Spirit for Helping You Find Peace, Power, & Passion After Your Divorce.

This 12-week DVD-based programme offers a safe and supportive space for healing, reflection, and hope.

No Cross, What A Cross!
6 - 8 Mar
Fri 7pm - Sun 1pm
Montfort Centre

This Lenten retreat invites you to rediscover the Cross through the words of St. Paul and the spiritual insight of St. Louis Marie de Montfort, who teaches that God has enclosed in the Cross an abundance of grace, life, and even joy, known only to those who befriend Him. What the world calls foolishness, God transforms into salvation, reminding us that perhaps the greatest cross of all is not having one.
