The Catholic Lawyers Guild of Chicago invites you to immerse yourself in a day of reflection, prayer, and renewal at our 2025 Lenten Retreat.

We are honored to welcome Father Ed Shea, OFM, as our Retreat Leader. Father Ed will guide us through his compelling reflections on the Four Commandments of Contentment, offering a framework for finding inner peace and spiritual growth during Lent. His insights will lead us in understanding the deeper aspects of reconciliation with ourselves, our faith, and one another.

The day will begin with breakfast and registration at 8:30 AM, followed by a series of talks, reflections, and opportunities for prayer and mass. We will conclude by 2:00 PM, leaving you with a sense of spiritual renewal as you continue your Lenten observances.

This retreat is an excellent opportunity for renewal, reflection, and spiritual growth. Whether you are attending for the first time or returning for another year, we are confident that this retreat will offer something of great value for all who participate. We encourage you to invite a colleague or fellow
parishioner to join us.

Please register today to confirm your attendance. We look forward to sharing this time of reflection with you.
