at St. Scholastica Monastery
Or
via Zoom
Advent is a beautiful time of the year to take a long, loving look at our relationship with God.
This retreat is a wonderful way to begin our reflections. The retreat will be given in three sessions, each developing themes of Advent that can help us grow in our love relationship with God.
Part One: December 6, 2023 will focus on Listening and Silence as essential for growth in our love relationship with God.
Part Two: December 13, 2023 we will develop the art of Waiting and Holy Longing as we grow in our spiritual life.
Part Three: December 20, 2023 we will ponder and reflect on our Love Affair with God.
Sessions build on one another, so our hope is that you are able to attend all three sessions. If this is not possible, please come to the session(s) that you can!
This retreat will be offered in a hybrid format, available to participants either in-person or by Zoom. For our in-person participants, we will meet at St. Scholastica Monastery each time.
