St. Michael CWL is hosting a Lenten retreat at our parish the morning of February 25th. This retreat is open to all women, both in our parish as well as our broader faith community in KW. CWL members and non-members from other parishes are invited and will be joining us.
Charlie Van Alphen will lead our retreat and focus on the theme “The Spirit within us”.
This is a wonderful way to prepare ourselves as we embark on our Lenten journey with a sense of renewal and spiritual growth. Lent is a time for reflection, sacrifice, and coming closer to God and beginning the Lenten season with a spiritual retreat will help us on our journey.
The morning will begin with mass at 9:30am in the parish.
All women are welcome -- bring a friend.
