Lenten Silent Retreat

Retreat Description: During these days of silence at the monastery, the whole Church begins the sacred season of Lent. Short reflections will be offered daily. The desert silence and the liturgies of the of the monastery will provide an atmosphere conducive to deep reflection. This is a wonderful opportunity to make our Lenten pilgrimage more fruitful this year.
