A morning Lenten retreat will be held at the Padre Eustáquio Memorial.

The Brothers of the Congregation of the Sacred Hearts in Belo Horizonte will be holding a Lenten Retreat open to the entire community next Saturday, the 19th. The meeting will take place at the Father Eustáquio Memorial, next to the Sanctuary of Health and Peace.

Since it is the day the Church celebrates the Solemnity of Saint Joseph, a special Mass will be celebrated at 7:00 AM in honor of the Patron Saint of the Church. Immediately afterwards, at 8:00 AM, participants in the Holy Mass and the entire community will be invited to reflect on biblical passages and to engage in a moment of reflection regarding the penitential season that Lent holds for us.

The meeting will be led by Brother Wanderson Souza, sscc, and is scheduled to end at 11:00 AM. No prior registration is required to participate in the retreat. The book that will be used for the reflections is already on sale at Padre Eustáquio's store for those who wish to follow along and have the meditations at home.
