Stations of the Cross & Soup Supper
2026-02-27 18:00, 2026-02-20 18:00 | St. Ignatius Catholic Community, 740 N. Calvert St., Baltimore, MD, 21202, United States

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.

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.

Virtual Lenten Journey Mini-Retreat
2026-02-23 18:00 - 20:00 | 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.

2026-02-21 09:30 - 16:00 | Bon Secours Retreat & Conference Center, 1525 Marriottsville Rd,, Marriottsville, MD, 21104, United States
Sacred Worth: Embracing Our Intuition, Releasing Our Gifts
We are thrilled to welcome back the amazing Renee Harrison for another engaging day as we explore the past to see how enslaved people, guided by their intuition, harnessed their power and shared their gifts to create change in American history during the 17th–19th centuries. How did they persevere during uncertain times? How did they navigate through chaos and trauma, using their talents to inspire themselves and others? What lessons can we learn from their ingenuity, and how does exploring this creativity motivate us to use our own gifts today? This workshop will include storytelling, self-discovery activities, group affirmation, and connecting our talents to what we will define together as the greater good. We end the day with an indoor “treasure hunt” and an imaginative gift-giving ritual. Don’t miss one of our most popular retreats of the year! Guided by Dr. Renee K. Harrison.
Please wear warm, comfortable clothes. There will be minimal indoor walking and no outdoor activities. Also, please bring a small item from your home that reminds you of your gifts, dreams, or talents.

2026-02-18 09:30 - 16:00 | Bon Secours Retreat & Conference Center, 1525 Marriottsville Rd,, Marriottsville, MD, 21104, United States
Rend your heart not your garments, and return to the Lord, your God.” (Joel 2:13)
These words from the prophet Joel invite us to take an inward journey during the 40 days of Lent to search our hearts as to where we stand with God and our neighbor and to enter more deeply into the Mystery of God’s love.
Join us for a quiet day of prayer as we begin the sacred Lenten season. The atmosphere for the day will be reverent silence, which allows us to more deeply encounter God and be attuned to God’s promptings. It will begin with reflective input by Sr. Bernie, followed by time for private prayer and reflection, lunch in silence, the option of walking the labyrinth or beautiful grounds, journaling, or just relaxing with God. There will be an opportunity to attend Ash Wednesday liturgy with distribution of ashes, if you wish. The day will conclude with participants coming together to name the blessings of the day and to join in a closing prayer. This is a day of silence. Lunch is included. Guided by Sr. Bernadette Claps, CBS.

A History of the Augustinian Order Webinar Series
2026-02-11 19:00 - 20:00 | Online Event
Please join the Lay Augustinians on Wednesday, February 11 at 7:00 PM for the first part of a four-part series about the history of the Order of St. Augustine and the development of Augustinianism from the death of St. Augustine in the fifth century to approximately the close of the fifteenth century, when the Order reached the height of its theological, intellectual, and cultural influence. Rather than treating the Order as a static institution, the series emphasizes a continuous historical narrative, tracing how Augustinian ideals were received, adapted, and institutionalized across changing social, political, and ecclesial contexts. Particular attention will be given to the antecedents inherited from late antiquity, the gradual formation of Augustinian life as a mendicant order, the conditions that allowed Augustinianism to flourish, and a series of sentinel events and foundational documents that have come to serve as touchstones for the Order’s identity.
The material is divided into four primary sections, each corresponding to a distinct phase in the historical development of the Western Church and its evolving reception of Augustinian thought. Taken together, these sections aim to demonstrate both continuity and transformation within the Augustinian tradition across a millennium of Christian history.
