Pueblo DCCW (Pueblo, CO)

On February 28th, the Pueblo Diocesan Council of Catholic Women hosted a beautiful and spiritually enriching Lenten Retreat at the Shrine of St. Thérèse. The day began with a warm and welcoming continental breakfast at 8:45 a.m., offering time for fellowship and connection among the approximately 65 women in attendance. Centered on the theme “In His Steps—Lent is not just about giving something up, but about giving of ourselves to God,” the retreat invited participants into deeper reflection and renewal. Guest speaker Deacon Ed Riccillo delivered an inspiring message, encouraging all to walk more closely with Christ through prayer, sacrifice, and acts of love. The retreat flowed gracefully from reflection to shared prayer and concluded with a delightful lunch, leaving all who attended feeling nourished both spiritually and physically. It was truly enjoyed by all.
