What’s So Good About Good Friday

REGISTRATION  IS CLOSED FOR THIS EVENT; PLEASE PRAY FOR ALL OF US!

Please join us for a day of recollection on Good Friday, April 15, 2022, from 9 am – 1 pm. Msgr. Michael Witt will lead us through two presentations and some time for reflection and meditation. We will conclude with a light Lenten lunch. Though this event technically ends at 1 pm, folks are welcome to stay as late as 3 pm, walking our beautiful grounds and/or spending some quiet time in our peaceful chapel. Or, if you would like to attend your own parish’s Good Friday services, you will have plenty of time to do so after this event ends! Cost is $30 per person, and registration is now open! Please note, however, that our registration deadline is the end of the day on Friday, April 8.
