Advent Quiet Day

Saturday, December 1, 2018

Have you ever wondered why, to save us from ourselves, our almighty God would choose to become a helpless infant, dependent in every way?

In the course of this Advent Quiet Day we will explore how this remarkable vulnerability is revealed in the Incarnation and how we, as human beings on a spiritual journey, are called to live into this vulnerability in order to come closer to God and to deepen our relationships with each other.

Led by Sister Susanne Prue, S.S.J.D.
