Almost all events submitted – if they are sponsored by a Catholic parish, school or other organization in the Archdiocese of Baltimore – will be featured in the online calendar.
A human monitor will approve submissions for posting.
Events submitted by the first of the month prior to the month of the event may be considered for the print edition of Catholic Review magazine (e.g., by Jan. 1 for publication in the February magazine). So that all entities in the archdiocese have a fair opportunity to be listed in the limited space in the print publication, entities will be limited to no more than two in each calendar month print edition. If more than two have been submitted, Catholic Review Media staff will decide which items to publish, at their discretion.
O’Dwyer Retreat Center – A Lenten Morning Retreat on Listening
March 18 @ 8:30 am - 12:00 pm EDT
Event Navigation
This Lent, we invite ministers and all adults seeking spiritual renewal to a morning of prayer and reflection. In the busyness of ministry and daily life, our hearts can easily become crowded, leaving little room to truly hear God and the people around us.
Rooted in the Lenten message of Pope Leo XIV, who reminds us that every authentic path of conversion begins with listening—to God, to His Word, and to one another—this retreat offers space to pause, reconnect with the Lord, and rediscover listening as the beginning of genuine love.
Through prayer, guided reflection, and shared silence, we will reveal what might be preventing authentic listening, so we can practice listening differently. Together, we will examine the interior habits, assumptions, and reactions that hinder true encounter, embracing fasting not only from food, but from presumption, quick answers, and the need to control—so that we may truly hear, respond, and love more deeply in our families, workplaces, ministries, and communities.
Come and “fill your cup” so you may return to daily life renewed in spirit and attentive to the voice of the Holy Spirit.
