The season of Lent calls Catholics to devote themselves to Christ and seek a conversion of heart and mind through prayer, fasting and almsgiving. Each year, the Diocese of Salt Lake City offers a Lenten retreat that offers members of the Church in Utah a chance to set aside a few hours to gather as a community to pray, reflect and share the faith. The 2020 Diocese of Salt Lake City Lenten Retreat will be Saturday, March 21, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at St. Vincent de Paul Parish, 1375 E. Spring Lane, Salt Lake City. English and Spanish sessions will be held concurrently. The retreat master in English will be Fr. Roger Keeler, JCD. The retreat master in Spanish will be Fr. Sergio Serrano, O.P. Cost is $15; includes Lenten lunch. All are welcome. Register online by March 17; call 801-8641 ext. 326 or online at www.dioslc.org.
