Serious times demand humor as one critical means of coping. This April Fool’s Day, celebrate being a “fool for Christ’s sake” (1 Cor. 4:10) as we consider the importance of humor in a wholistic way as an integral part of our life’s journey. There will be an opportunity for story telling (using Sacred Scripture and other sources), personal reflection, and group sharing — with much laughter (and maybe some tears)!
All are welcome to attend the Friends Day of Prayer retreats, held monthly on the first Wednesday of the month. It is not required to attend every month, so register for one or more sessions as your schedule allows. While the presenters and topics vary, each Friends Day of Prayer typically includes pastries and informal conversation at 9:30am, a morning presentation at 10am, an optional Mass, a delicious lunch, short periods of free time to enjoy the grounds or shop in the bookstore, and an afternoon presentation. Guided by Sr. Fran Gorsuch, CBS.

Triduum Retreat
2026-04-02 16:00 - 2026-04-05 13:00 | Bon Secours Retreat & Conference Center, 1525 Marriottsville Rd,, Marriottsville, MD, 21104, United States
Were You There: Following Jesus from the Upper Room to the Empty Tomb
During the three days of the Triduum retreat, we will follow Jesus’ journey of crucified love through imaginative, prayerful reflections and liturgical celebrations. In the Upper Room, he teaches us how to be a servant leader. In the Gethsemane Garden, he guides us in the way of yielding to his Father’s desire, “Thy will be done.” Through the streets of Jerusalem to Mount Calvary, he shows us the blueprint of ‘no greater love’ as we observe the sufferings of a man crowned with thorns, beaten and assaulted, while carrying the cross of his own crucifixion. Throughout this retreat experience, we will personally encounter Jesus in these events as we prayerfully enter the biblical narrative. Ultimately, we will embrace a deeper level of comprehending the teaching that “No one shows greater love than when he lays down his life for his friends.” Our time together will culminate on Easter Sunday morning, when everything is turned upside down in the unprecedented event of the resurrection.
This is a silent retreat. Silence is kept from after dinner on Thursday until after the Easter Vigil on Saturday evening. The retreat will begin on Thursday at 4:30pm and will end with lunch after Mass on Easter Sunday. Meals and lodging are included. Guided by Fr. Phil Cover and Sr. Carole Rybicki.
A COMMUTER OPTION is also available. The commuter option costs $255 and includes everything except for lodging and breakfast. Call the Welcome Center at 410-442-3120 to register for the Triduum Retreat Commuter Option.

Stations of the Cross & Soup Supper

Stations of the Cross & Soup Supper
Fridays Throughout Lent, 6 p.m.
April 3
What you’ll experience as we gather:
The Stations of the Cross (also known as the Way of the Cross or Via Dolorosa) serves as a “spiritual pilgrimage,” where participants move from station to station to meditate on specific events of the Passion. At St. Ignatius the stations are sculptured engravings arranged at intervals around the walls of a church. Devotions will emphasize both the traditional language leading to Christ’s death and its sorrows easily found in our city of Baltimore where similar moments are played out today. Following the service will be the best Lenten meal in Baltimore, prepared and served lovingly by parishioners. All are invited.
