LENTEN RETREAT IN KHARKIV

THE 2018 ANNUAL LENTEN RETREAT OF ST. THOMAS AQUINAS CATHOLIC STUDENTS

This year’s Lenten retreat was a three-day program that commenced on Friday, 2nd of March until Sunday, 4th of March. It took place on the church premises and was attended by 62 students from Kharkiv and Zaparozhie. Fr. Joe Agostino CM preached the retreat. The theme of the retreat was ‘God Is Not Dead’. Fr Joe gave insight into some unforeseen and yet challenging moments in life that may lead to loss of faith in God. The entire retreat was made to trace the presence and not the existence of God in challenging life situations.

Fr Joe sited many examples from the American society of how God manifests His presence in human life condition however challenging. The students took time each to make a detailed confession on Saturday evening during the exposition of the Blessed Sacrament that lasted for two and half hours. The retreat ended on Sunday with the Holy Mass at 14:00. The students left the church premises renewed in the spirit.
