2018 Advent Days of Prayer
December 6 and 13
Celebrating the Saints of the Season
Our two Advent Days of Prayer coincide with the Feast days of two saints who are associated with the Christmas Season,
St. Nicholas and St. Lucy. Our Advent Days of Prayer are a great opportunity to take some time for yourself in the prayerful setting of the Retreat Center and step away from the frenzy of the Christmas season.
Thursday, December 6 – Living a Generous Life, St. Nicholas, presented by Debbie Koop
Thursday, December 13 – A Light in the Darkness, St. Lucy, presented by Kathy Berken
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:
