The Comings of God
Advent Day of Reflection
Wednesday, December 6, 2023
10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
Sr. Maryann Cantlon, C.S.J.
At the center of the Advent proclamation are hope and promise. We are an Advent people because we look for the coming of God and because we live in the time between his first coming in Bethlehem and his second coming in glory. During our Advent reflection, we will look back to this first coming and ahead to the final coming and to all the times God comes to us in between. Advent reminds us that there is grace in the midst of our disasters and light where we stumble and that we are people who can hope against hope. Step away from the frenzy to come and reflect with this community of faith.
The day of reflection will be offered in-person only and include a presentation, Reconciliation, lunch, and Mass. The same program will be offered in the evening, in-person and online via Zoom, from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m.
Offering: $50
