Seniorate

Invitation to our Lenten Retreat – A Year of Regenereation

Lenten Retreats in parishes and Seniorates all over the country and Canada are scheduled for this season. The retreats are only one of eight initiatives set forward by this past national Synod for “each and every parishioner to play a role in bringing about a renewed and active spiritual life in the parishes and in the entire Church” as Prime Bishop Anthony wrote in January’s God’s Field. Our Scranton Seniorate in combination with the Plymouth Seniorate will conduct its Lenten Retreat on Saturday, March 21st in Dupont, PA from 11 am to 3 pm. All our parishioners are invited to participate in this national and international effort for a program built around the theme: Return to Me with Your Whole Heart. There is no charge for this spiritual exercise.
