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.
