Online for lent - A daily retreat


Father John O'Connor has created a daily online retreat for Lent that will provide excellent spiritual nourishment for all of us. 


Consider Lent 2017 (Ash Wednesday 1st March - Easter Sunday 16th March) as a time of retreat in the midst of your daily routines and commitments with online
encouragement for prayer and growth in faith.


Every day of Lent foodforfaith.org.nz will offer resources including reflections, brief
videos clips and podcasts with links to other helpful resources for your prayer,
reflection and growth in faith.

These online resources have been linked to the CARITAS Units you will be using in your schools during Lent and also he will incorporate aspects of the Spiritual Renewal Programme that Father Rick is suggesting we implement.

Registering for this online retreat takes less than a minute and you will receive an email that is succinct, to the point, prayerful and will be a great way to start your day.

You can connect with this programme and Father John via Twitter and Facebook.

We look forward to this wonderful opportunity and thank Father John for his efforts in making this available.

  1. Thanks Jeremy for sharing this. I know that the demands on teachers are significant, and the expectations of teachers can be off-the-charts. My aim in this Lenten online retreat is to give you encouragement which keeps all moments of the day into perspective. To receive the daily email updates sign up at www.foodforfaith.org.nz by tapping on the "LENT 2017" button. In Christ. John.
