Advent 2023 lasts only 3 weeks since Christmas is the day after the Fourth Sunday of Advent. In that brief time, we get to plunge into that “place” in each of us in which the Second Person of the Trinity became incarnate. We do this only in the gracious presence of our merciful God.
A day or evening of reflection, grounded in the Jesuit tradition, is a shorter version of the Ignatian Weekend Retreat. Wherever you are on your spiritual journey, a day or evening program is sure to give you the peace and serenity needed to be still and to rest in God's loving embrace.
Your day or evening of reflection includes thematic talks from our skilled Retreat Leaders, time for private prayer, celebration of Mass and a meal.
