Advent often gets swallowed up by Christmas preparations that may have very little to do with the Savior’s birth. Calendars are full, parking garages are full, shopping aisles are full! Be attentive and reflective; come for a day rich in prayer – emptying self so that the Word made Flesh might fill the cave of your heart even in the midst of busyness this Advent.   In her own ongoing conversion of heart, Sr. Judy questions, “Is there room for Christ?”

 

The day of reflection begins at 8:00 a.m. on Wednesday, December 2nd, and ends at 2:00 PM. Breakfast and lunch are included.

The minimum offering for this day of reflection is $45.00.
