Praying the Hours Retreat
February 19 - 21, 2026
This retreat invites participants into the ancient rhythm of praying the hours—pausing throughout the day to turn hearts and minds toward God. Through liturgy, silence, and reflection, we will enter into the sacred pattern of morning, midday, evening, and night prayer, joining our voices with generations of Christians who have sought to mark time with God’s presence.
