An Evening Retreat on the Shroud of Turin with

join us for an engaging and immersive evening that invites us to look at the mystery of the Incarnation through the witness of the Shroud.

This evening is a unique Shroud of Turin retreat experience - not a replay of ANY Shroud talk you may have heard before.

Fr. Jerome Lavigne will lead us into the wonder of the Incarnation and the extraordinary witness of the Shroud, bringing together Scripture, the mystery of Christ made flesh, and the signs of His suffering in a way that is both compelling and deeply personal.

The Shroud has a remarkable way of making familiar truths feel immediate again. It invites us to encounter Christ not as an idea or a distant figure, but as the One who entered fully into human life, suffering and love.

For those who know the Shroud well, and for those encountering it for the first time, this evening is designed to deepen faith, renew wonder, and prepare the heart to enter Advent with greater attention to the mystery of Christ.

The retreat will conclude with a guided Eucharistic Adoration and Benediction, allowing the evening to move naturally from reflection into prayer and Encounter.
