2019 Advent Days of Prayer
December 5, 12, and 19
Advent is a special time during which we prepare ourselves for the coming of Our Lord in a most special way. As one Franciscan Friar would say, “Just as we decorate our houses, we should also think of decorating our souls.” Please join us as we seek to ‘decorate our souls’ for the coming of the Christ Child.
This year’s theme is still being decided.
Participants need only bring their lunch for the day, and any reading material that they would like to have with them. There will be input by the presenter, a guided prayer experience, and ample free time for personal prayer and reflection. Weather permitting, retreatants may walk the outdoor Labyrinth or the outdoor trails. There will be an opportunity for Confession, as well as Stations of the Cross and the Liturgy of the Day. The Schedule for our 2018 Advent Days of Prayer is below:
