about the program

This Lent, we invite you to journey with us as we take one hour a day for a retreat amid daily life. Join us for any or all of the nine days of reflection, music, and preaching. Join together with us as a faith-filled community for God’s healing and hope in our lives. Be nourished and inspired each day as you open yourself to the Spirit and experience a grace that transforms.

The Novena’s origins date to 1633, when tradition says early Jesuit St. Francis Xavier appeared to a priest in a healing vision and promised that all who would earnestly ask his intercession with God for nine consecutive days would experience profound grace. The Novena survives today as an annual tradition which is continually updated to remain relevant to the daily lives of retreat-goers.

All are welcome!
