"Lent at the Abbey"

Benedictine University and St. Procopius Abbey invite the public to attend “Lent at the Abbey” from 9:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m. on Saturday, March 17. The theme of the event is "Holy Reading in Lent: Food for the Soul and the Mind." Speakers will include Fr. Becket of St. Procopius Abbey and Christine M. Fletcher, Ph.D., assistant professor of Theology at Benedictine University. Lent at the Abbey will reflect upon holy reading as food for the soul and the mind – one of the most important parts of the Lenten journey. The schedule includes arrival and coffee, a morning prayer, the Sacrament of Reconciliation, readings, Mass, lunch in the monastic refectory, a reflection, and a closing prayer and blessing. There is no fee for this day, but a free will offering will be taken. For more information or to RSVP, contact Fr. Becket at (630) 829-9253 or email bfranks@procopius.org.
