Our Social Justice Advent and Lenten Retreats
Our annual Advent and Lenten Social Justice Retreats are
designed to help participants enter into the spirit of these key
liturgical seasons with a greater appreciation for our call to
be disciples of peace and justice. By reason of our birth and
baptism, we are called to be agents of a new Kingdom promised in
Creation, restored by the Incarnation, and initiated through the
life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
This Year's Advent Theme:
Probed, Prodded and Pushed
Advent is a time of waiting and preparing. Who is it that
is coming? What does he tell us? How are we
challenged to respond so that the message of Advent and
Christmas can transform the world in which we live? Sister
Nancy will
use the story of the birth of Jesus and the stories Jesus told
to help us see what he saw and do what he did.
