μένο (meno)
Abide, Stay, Dwell, Live, Remain

During Triduum, we have a special opportunity to live these days with Jesus: to see him, listen to him, learn from him, be loved by him, love him, be moved, be grieved, be lost, and to rejoice at what God does in and for him (and us)! We are also invited to learn anew how to live the gift of our own sacred and unique human lives as he did, with him and his Abba and Spirit with us.

μένο (meno) is a Greek word that appears repeatedly in the Gospel and Letters of John; it communicates something important that God seems to want us to “get.” μένο (meno) is not merely a concept or vocabulary word, but an invitation to see Jesus living this way — and to more deeply approach and embrace this way of living. The clarion call to μένο (meno) will guide the reflections during the retreat, as we bring our lives, loves, needs, travails, longings, and joys to these days of journeying and remembering.

Retreatants will have ample opportunity for silence and the richness of the Holy Week Liturgies, along with input and guidance for reflection. Guided by Joanne Cahoon (presentations) and Fr. John Collins (liturgies).

This is a silent retreat. Silence is kept from after dinner on Thursday until after the Easter Vigil on Saturday evening. The retreat will begin on Thursday at 4:30pm and will end with lunch after Mass on Easter Sunday.

The Commuter Option does not include lodging or breakfast.

An overnight option is also available. Click here to register for the overnight Triduum Retreat option instead.

Joanne Cahoon, D.Min. holds a bachelor’s degree in Religious Studies, master’s degree in Religion/Pastoral Ministry, graduate certificates in spiritual direction and in spirituality studies, and a Doctor of Ministry degree from the Catholic Theological Union in Chicago, where her specialization was spirituality and practical theology. Along the way, Joanne has taught in elementary, secondary, undergraduate, and graduate school settings. She has also served as youth minister, high school campus minister, consultant, writer, national trainer, diocesan staff member, staff member of a graduate school, spiritual director, facilitator of retreats, and professional coach. Joanne has welcomed and worked with many individuals and groups, serving them as they listen for God’s invitations in their personal and corporate lives. She finds it a privilege to be involved in spiritual and human formation bringing deep listening, presence, creativity, and a commitment to her own ongoing formation to her work. 

Fr. John Collins, C.Ss.R. was born in Boston and raised in a Redemptorist parish, the Basilica of Our Lady of Perpetual Help (“The Mission Church”). Fr. Collins professed his first vows in 1979 and was ordained to the priesthood in 1987. He has most recently served as the Director of San Alfonso Retreat House in Long Branch, New Jersey, while also ministering as a member of the retreat team since July 2015. He has previously served as Chaplain and Campus Minister at Gwynedd Mercy University from 2001 through 2015. His prior ministerial background also includes parish ministry, retreat programs and workshops, spiritual direction, pastoral counseling, and psychotherapy. Fr. Collins obtained master’s degrees in Religious Education (MRE) and Divinity (M.Div.) during seminary studies and completed a master’s program in Clinical Social Work (MSW) after ordination.
