The retreat begins at 9:00am with Mass and will conclude by noon. Suggested offering: $20 (in-person or via PushPay). All are welcome. Click here to register.

Oratory Vespers at St. Boniface
Let’s pray together at the Oratory Vespers on Laetare Sunday and so enter more deeply into the Lenten season. Participating in Vespers can be a perfect way to slow down and prepare for Easter. We’ll mark the halfway point of Lent through prayer, scripture, song, and reflection. Assumption parishioner, Amaka Uzoh, will reflect on Sunday’s reading from Ephesians 5:8–14.
Friday, March 20, 6:00–9:00pm, Assumption Hall
SJAC (Social Justice Action Committee) Film Night
Get to know Leo From Chicago at the SJAC-sponsored potluck supper and film screening of the documentary retracing the story, family roots, studies, and Augustinian vocation of Robert Francis Prevost in his native United States. After the film, Fr. Anthony Andreassi, and Oratory parishioners Dominic Preziosi, editor of Commonweal, and Julius Lang will lead a discussion on the first American Pope, the Augustinians, and what it could mean for our Church today and in the future. Please bring a meatless dish, treat, or beverage to share.
