The RTPTCA Lenten Retreat 2024 was held on the 9th of March 2024, at Holy Cross Catholic Church, Durham. It was conducted by Rev. Fr. Vimal Backiaraj CP, from Tennessee. Around 25 families (approximately 100 people including children and adults) attended and benefitted from the Retreat.

The Retreat started with a Rosary in the morning, followed by 3 sessions of reflection, meditation and prayers. All sessions included songs from the choir, setting the scene for a very spiritual experience.

There was Way of the Cross with children enacting the Lord’s passion.

The highlight of the day was the adoration of the Blessed Sacrament and special prayers with songs by the RTPTCA Choir.

There was also a parallel children’s session that was lead by parents and our youth volunteers. Fr. Alapaty gave reflections & blessings to the children.

The Retreat ended with vigil mass celebrated by Fr. Pius Wakesa, pastor of Holy Cross Catholic Church, Durham.
