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.

You are invited to join the Handel Choir of Baltimore in the beautiful St. Mary’s Seminary for a special concert featuring Musikalische Exequien: the first German requiem and the inspiration behind the beloved Brahms Requiem. Handel Choir features the stunning architecture of the chapel in St. Mary’s during the final movement of the Exequien, when a trio of soloists representing two seraphim and the “departed soul” are, as directed by the composer, hidden from view, tucked away in an alcove, and sing an antiphonal passage with the choir to be heard from a distance as to evoke the feeling in the listener of being spoken to from heaven.

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.

Marriage Enrichment Series: When the Wine Runs Dry
When the wine ran short, the mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no wine.”
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.

Unbind Him and Let Him Go Free - Weekend Retreat
2026-03-13 16:00 - 2026-03-15 13:00 | Bon Secours Retreat & Conference Center, 1525 Marriottsville Rd,, Marriottsville, MD, 21104, United States
Jesus’ Healing Ministry of Forgiveness
Like the people of Jesus’s time, we are astonished by the “great deeds” of his miracles and cures. But we may not focus as much on Jesus’ healing ministry — the times he reaches out to touch someone’s isolation and spiritual brokenness.
Join us for a weekend of prayer and reflection as we ponder how allowing Jesus’ healing touch for ourselves invites us to reach out in compassion and forgiveness to “unbind” others. This weekend will include periods of silence as well as times for sacred sharing. There will also be limited times for individual spiritual direction. Guided by Joy Aker and Elaine Ireland.
