JustFaith: Stations of the Trees
Ecological Spirituality Afternoon Retreat
Saturday, October 3, 2026
Rain Date: Sunday, October 4, 2026
1:30 to 5:00 p.m.
Come walk the grounds of Holy Family to connect with God and one another through the beauty of creation while renewing your commitment to living more sustainably. As part of the Season of Creation 2026, we will walk a “Stations of the Trees” with prayers and meditations inspired by the natural environment and outdoor sculptures throughout our grounds.
Because this retreat will be held outdoors, a rain date is set for the following day. Those with limited mobility may choose to engage in stationary prayer while others walk the grounds.
Free-will offering gratefully accepted. Registration required.
This event is sponsored by the JustFaith Ministry of Holy Family.
