In anticipation of the 2025 Jubilee, Pope Francis has inaugurated 2024 as a Year of Prayer dedicated "to rediscovering the great value and absolute need for prayer, prayer in personal life, in the life of the Church, prayer in the world."

One Saturday a month, join Professor Lisa Lickona, S.T.L., to go deeper into prayer with the saints. Each month will focus on a particular saint, a reflection by Professor Lickona on the saint's life and call to prayer, followed by time for quiet prayer and Adoration. An open invitation to lunch will follow immediately after.

Join us:

When: Saturdays, 8:45am - 12:00pm

Where: St. Bernard's School of Theology and Ministry | 120 French Road, Pittsford

What can I expect at the retreat?

To be introduced to a particular saint who shares some of my own struggles
To have help understanding God’s work in my life
To be invited into prayer
To meet others who are embarking on a journey with God
