Dear Friends:
ASH WEDNESDAY & LENT FROM JERSEY CITY TO PITTSBURGH: We begin Lent Wednesday. I found a good definition of Lent in “The United States Catholic Catechism for Adults.” “Lent is an annual period of 40 days beginning on Ash Wednesday for Latin Catholics, which is set aside for fasting, penance and almsgiving in preparation for the coming celebration of Easter. It is modeled in part on the 40 days that Jesus spent in the desert before his public ministry. The penance, fasting and almsgiving are meant to help lead the believer to on- going conversion and a deeper faith in the Lord who redeemed us.” That says it all...

Retreat Center
Paul of the Cross, founder of the Passionists, always wished his monasteries to be places of hospitality. The same applies for our retreat center. We have a variety of retreats for men, women, mothers and daughters, fathers and sons, and many day events as well.
