Last Saturday, members of the Missouri Area came together at the Augustine Institute for a Lenten Day of Reflection. The day featured a presentation by Msgr. James Ramacciotti, JCL, ChD, the Cardinal Burke Chair of Canon Law at Kenrick‑Glennon Seminary, who spoke on “The Spiritual Works of Mercy.”

Following the presentation, participants spent time in Eucharistic Adoration and were offered the Sacrament of Reconciliation, providing a meaningful opportunity for spiritual renewal during the Lenten season.

The day continued with Mass celebrated by Msgr. Ramacciotti and Fr. Thomas Keller, Associate of the Order of Malta and Pastor of Assumption‑Mattese Parish. A shared lunch at the Institute concluded the gathering, offering time for fellowship and reflection.
