O'Dwyer Retreat Center - A Lenten Morning Retreat on Listening
2026-03-18 08:30 - 12:00 | O’Dwyer Retreat Center, 15523 York Road, Sparks, Maryland, 21152
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.

Stations of the Cross & Soup Supper

Stations of the Cross & Soup Supper
Fridays Throughout Lent, 6 p.m.
March 6, 13, 20, 27
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.

We will have a few of the conference rooms adjacent to the Social Hall set aside for the care services. We will have a few professional caregivers for general needs. If you prefer, you may additionally have a trusted person stay with your dependent(s). Plan on providing your own snacks and drinks, as well as any books or items your dependent might want.
This retreat is entirely for your benefit. There is no cost for this retreat. RSVP at https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfIqon9XdR3Shhu5YT7tmiMeQoj_kimyxpY_L1So_YL85akbQ/viewform

Latin Language, Lyrics & Liturgy in Lent

Please join us at 3:45 p.m. on Sundays in Lent in the Emmaus Room at St. Agnes Church for a discussion of the Latin language and its role in the Catholic Church and Liturgy. Dr. John J. Jefferson has a PhD in Late Medieval studies and has worked with Latin for decades, to include the translation of Latin historical works into English.
