Lent 2023
Theology Through Film
Come join us for Theology Through Film, where we will engage Lenten themes through various movies! This week, Saturday, March 25, we will discuss Of Gods and Men (2010), a French film recounting the true story of nine Cistercian monks during the Algerian Civil War. We will explore the cost of discipleship and Christ’s promise of everlasting life. The film is available for rental on Amazon, Apple TV, and other streaming services. Please watch the film before attending if you are able, and clips will be shown throughout the evening. See you there!
Men’s Evening of Reflection
March 27, Dining Hall
6 PM, Beer and Brats, St. Peter Dining Hall
7 PM, Reflection by Brian Miller, with Brian Miller, Director of Evangelization and Discipleship for the Archdiocese of Saint Louis.
So they took Jesus; and carrying the cross by himself, he went out to what is called The Place of the Skull, which in Hebrew is called Golgotha. There they crucified him . . .
Stations of the Cross
Fridays during Lent at 7:00 pm.
3/24: Deacon John presiding
3/31: Through the Eyes of Mary
Hosted by Women's ACTS
“Your own heart a sword shall pierce.” Among the most profound ways of entering the mystery of Jesus’ passion is through the eyes of the one who accompanied him with the deepest compassion — his Mother Mary. The stations are accompanied by live music to allow for silent reflection in between the meditations.
4/7: Good Friday, 12:00 pm, Outdoor Stations
Hosted by ACTS Community
The Stations of the Cross will be presented outdoors (weather permitting) on the St. Peter Church grounds on Friday, April 7, 2023, beginning at 12 noon.
The prayer will follow the traditional sequence of the stations of the cross and will include reflection readings at each station. Participants will walk from station to station as a group, and the scheduled portion of the prayer will conclude in the Ursuline Hall courtyard/prayer garden.
