Lenten Mini-Retreat with Fr. Mark Mannion

We invite you to join CIC Assistant Chaplain Fr. Mark Mannion for our upcoming Lenten mini-retreat on Saturday, February 28, 2026 from 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM EST. Fr. Mark will walk you through how all the virtues are contained in Christ’s Cross and how we can put this into our daily practice throughout Lent. Father will also examine how we too can save souls by living Jesus’s passion. What does all this look like? Register, and join us for this special morning of recollection.
