Last Sunday, June 1, 2025, the FCJ Retreat and Conference Centre participated in one of the most anticipated festivities in Calgary, the Lilac Festival. A traditional festival that brings together community spirit, local culture, and the joy of spring. Held along 4th Street SW, the festival drew tens of thousands of attendees who enjoyed a full day of music, food, art, and meaningful engagement.
The FCJ Centre’s booth stood as a welcoming presence amid the lively festivities. Members of the Centre staff warmly greeted festival goers, offering information about the Centre’s mission, upcoming programs, services, retreat opportunities, and delicious homemade goodies. Many attendees were curious to learn about the Centre and were delighted where we are located.
In addition to the program brochures and Centre information, the FCJ Centre team engaged the public with an interactive raffle where they could win one day retreat and one lunch experience at the Centre. Christine won a lunch experience and Haley won a retreat experience. This activity also became a touching way to introduce the Centre’s services and programs to new audiences.
Participating in the Lilac Festival allowed the FCJ Centre to meet new faces, reconnect with old friends, and share its message of peace, hope, hospitality, and community in one of Calgary’s most iconic outdoor events. #
