Advent: from the Latin "adventus," meaning "coming," this season is a time of waiting, expectation, and preparation. Just as Mary waited with joyful anticipation for the birth of her beloved son, Jesus, so to do we await the birth of our Savior in our hearts.
This retreat is a traditional, silent retreat preparing you for your own personal, internal celebration of Christmas. Time is provided for group discussions as well as individual and communal prayer, spiritual reading, reflection, and devotions. Opportunities are also available for the celebration of the Eucharist and Reconciliation.
