The Footprints of
God - A Retreat for Lent
Church of Christ the King, Strathroy
Monday Evenings from 15th February @ 8 –
9 pm
(Tea, coffee & refreshments served at
the end of each evening)
Each Monday evening of Lent (beginning on
Monday before Ash Wednesday), we will journey
reflectively with Jesus as he makes his
way to Jerusalem.
As we reflect on the journey Jesus took
to Jerusalem, where he suffered and died
for us, we grow in an understanding of the
journey of our own lives and find nourishment
and guidance for our pilgrimage through
life.

will, for 10 days, follow in the footsteps
of Jesus, from Nazareth to the Sea of Galilee
to Bethlehem and Jerusalem. This once-in-a-lifetime
pilgrimage will bring to life the people,
places and stories of the Bible, and promises
to be an enjoyable and enriching experience.
Price: £1,190 (price may be less depending
on numbers going and is fully inclusive
- flights, hotels, breakfast & dinner
each day, guide, full tours etc). If you
are interested or thinking about going and
would like to know more about the pilgrimage,

at 8 pm (after 7.30pm Mass).
Lough Derg has been
offering One Day Retreats since 1992. These
appeal largely to older people, especially
those no longer able to make the traditional
Three-Day Pilgrimage, and to those who for
reasons of health or disability, have never
been able to visit Lough Derg.
