Virtual Lenten Journey Mini-Retreat
2026-02-23 18:00 - 20:00 (America/New_York) | Zoom (Online)
As Lent begins its perennial unfolding this February, you are invited to gather virtually to mark this sacred period of deepening faith, wrestling questions, and responding to the Holy One’s call within our lives. In community, we will engage in contemplative practices with Sacred Scripture, such as lectio divina (with some contemporary nuances), while also personally reflecting upon what our respective intentions for this annual journey might behold. Dedicated time for creatively expressing these intentions will take shape through writing prompts, group discussion, and moments of prayer. We will also consider ancient and non-traditional Lenten practices that might enhance our journey this year. Music will also be included in celebration of this time together.
However you observe this transformative season, we hope you will join us and participate in this online program. Wherever you find yourself as Lent commences, this opportunity for beginning anew — together in solidarity and deep presence — awaits you.
This is a virtual program. When registering for this virtual program, please provide the email address to which we should send the Zoom Meeting link. If you don’t receive the Zoom Meeting information by the day before the session, please contact the Welcome Center at 410-442-3120. Guided by Gordon Creamer.

Entering the House of Love - Lenten Weekend Retreat
2026-02-27 16:00 - 2026-03-01 13:00 | Bon Secours Retreat & Conference Center, 1525 Marriottsville Rd,, Marriottsville, MD, 21104, United States
The Lenten journey is a rich invitation to listen more deeply to God’s call within and to respond more fully and freely with all of our being. The spiritual writer Henri Nouwen describes the spiritual life as being a movement out of the “house of fear into the house of love.” In this early-Lenten retreat, we will explore the healing transformation that Jesus opens up for us, bringing us back to an awareness of who and whose we are in God’s loving heart, out of places of fear, shame and brokenness. Through prayer, shared silence, and group reflection on Scripture and Nouwen’s wisdom — and nurturing, safe space to be ourselves — we will seek together, in the words of the Sisters of Bon Secours, the “warm human features of Christ” who beckons us on our Lenten journey to follow Him and be healed. This will be a modified silent retreat, with some periods of silence and other portions inviting sharing among participants. Guided by Amy Sorensen Kulesa.
Check-in begins at 4pm. There will be a brief welcome session at 5:30pm, followed by dinner at 6pm. The retreat begins after dinner at 7pm on Friday and concludes after lunch on Sunday. Mass will be available Sunday morning for those who wish to attend.

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.

Thresholds of Our Lenten Journey - Day Retreat
2026-03-04 09:30 - 15:00 | Bon Secours Retreat & Conference Center, 1525 Marriottsville Rd,, Marriottsville, MD, 21104, United States
Friends Day of Prayer
Throughout the Gospel narratives, Jesus encounters significant thresholds that he must cross as he journeys to Jerusalem, and he invites his followers, who are sometimes reluctant, to accompany him. We also encounter important thresholds in our own lives. Through presentations, guided meditation, journaling, private time, and group sharing, we will reflect on how together with Jesus we can recognize and cross the thresholds of our Lenten journey.
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. Jo-Ann Flora.

Lunch & Dialogue: The Sacred Life of Bread
2026-03-06 12:00 - 15:30 | Bon Secours Retreat & Conference Center, 1525 Marriottsville Rd,, Marriottsville, MD, 21104, United States
Uncovering the Mystery of an Ordinary Loaf
Have you ever wondered about the origins of bread? Or, how and why bread has come to symbolize everything from nourishing sustenance and vitality to community, social connection, and cultural traditions? Overall, bread represents life itself to countless civilizations and religions, especially in the rituals they observe and celebrate. We take for granted just how much the pursuit and consumption of this ubiquitous food staple has become woven into the fabric or our everyday lives and spiritual journeys.
With these questions and realizations in mind, you are invited to join facilitator Gordon Creamer for a delicious lunch and dialogue about The Sacred Life of Bread: Uncovering the Mystery of an Ordinary Loaf by Meghan Murphy-Gill. In this 2023 work, the author vividly explores the life of bread, which is as ordinary as it is sacred. In a distinct way, this text uplifts the multitude of blessings that this substance is to its recipients, especially a path toward understanding the inner workings of the world, its inhabitants, and the rich relationship between the two. Murphy-Gill also explores the world of bread and the nuances of meaning it carries, inviting her readers into the “practice of bread,” which reveals deep spiritual implications for both communion and fulfillment.
As we navigate life within these challenging times, this gathering is intended to provide nourishment for both body and spirit. During the program portion of this session, participants will have opportunities for encountering the text with prayerful pauses, creative and contemplative exercises, and group dialogue. A tasty closing ritual will conclude our time together. Prior reading of The Sacred Life of Bread is not mandatory but may prove beneficial. This retreat begins with lunch. Guided by Gordon Creamer.

Couples, do you feel like you need supernatural grace to overcome an obstacle or struggle in your marriage? At times have you felt distracted from your spouse? Are there activities or things such as work, hobbies, family, sports, friends that you enjoy more than the time spent with your spouse? Are there addictions that have taken the place of quality time with husband or wife? Do you want to regain the desire for your spouse from years ago? Join us on Saturday, March 7, 7—9p.m. in the Church as we continue this year’s Marriage Enrichment Series, When the Wine Runs Dry, and turn to Our Lord for his healing when the wine runs dry. The night will include praise and worship in front of the Blessed Sacrament and a short talk by Fr. Jeremy Smith about the Wine of Virtue. Join us as we contemplate how struggles in our marriage drain our martial intimacy and find ways we can turn to Our Lord for help and guidance. Join other likeminded couples for an evening of music, praise and worship centered around healing and renewed hope in our marriages. Engaged and dating couples are encouraged to attend. Wine and cheese will be served afterwards. The event is free, and childcare will be provided upon request. Please RSVP so that we can plan accordingly for refreshments and childcare.
