Triduum Retreat

What is the Triduum Retreat?

St. Mary's offers the Triduum Retreat every other year.  This retreat will next be offered in Lent 2025. This is an opportunity for you to learn about the Sacred "Three Days" (Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday) leading up to Easter.  We will take an in-depth look at the liturgies, prayers, and traditions that accompany the Triduum and what it teaches us as Catholics according to the Church's ancient maxim of lex orandi, lex credendi ("the way we pray is the way we believe"). 

The retreat is open to anyone (students, permanent parishioners, and visitors) and meets here at St. Mary's.  Our OCIA Director, Kevin Pesek, leads the retreat, and you can contact him at kpesek@aggiecatholic.org for more information. There is no fee to attend, but please RSVP below so that we can print enough booklets.
