Preparing for the Easter Feast: Holy Week Retreat
April 14–21, 2019

Lenten Retreat

 

The retreat center dedicates its focus this week to one of the most important events on the Christian calendar. The early part of the week is for reflection, and all the major Holy Week liturgies are fully celebrated, beginning with Tenebrae on Wednesday. We’ll host a Maundy Thursday Agape Meal with a foot-washing ritual; a Good Friday service, including veneration of the Cross; and we’ll prepare the house for the feast on Holy Saturday. The Great Vigil is celebrated in the early twilight of Sunday morning, followed by an Easter Day festive brunch. Come join in a participatory, immersive experience celebrating the circle of life and Christian faith: from life, to death, to resurrection, to larger life!

Led by the Rev. Daniel Simons, Director of Spiritual Formation, Trinity Retreat Center.

This retreat is suitable for adults and for young people who are capable of participating in adult conversations.
