Join Liza Peters, retreat team member at Holy Family Retreat Center, on Wednesday, Feb. 26, for an Ash Wednesday reflection titled “Longing to be Transformed.” A day session will be offered from 10 a.m.-2 p.m., and an evening session from 6-9 p.m. Both programs will include Mass and the distribution of ashes. The day program includes the Sacrament of Reconciliation.

Participants will examine the Gospel readings from the six weeks of Lent and discuss how these readings lead our hearts to be opened and transformed.

“Lent is a time of transformation, when each of us is called to pray, fast and give to others,” says Peters. “We long to be more like Christ, and during this holy time, we reflect on those habits that get in our way.”

The cost to attend either session is $40 and includes lunch or dinner.

Holy Family Retreat Center is located at 303 Tunxis Road in West Hartford. For more information on any of these events, visit www.holyfamilyretreat.org/lent or call 860-760-9705.
