During this Advent, we invite you to prepare for Christmas through an Advent Virtual Retreat inspired by St. John Henry Newman.
How does it work?
Advent Reflection: The first three Sundays of Advent, we will email you a video with an advent reflection based on a sermon by St John Henry Newman.
Read a sermon by St John Henry Newman: Once you have watched the video during that week you read the assigned sermon.
Spiritual Exercise: In the video a spiritual exercise will be provided so you can assimilate the sermon of Newman into your life. We recommend that every week of Advent you assign a time and a day to do a holy hour (a whole hour of prayer – preferably before the Blessed Sacrament).
Additionally, you can pick up an Advent Booklet with reflections based on the daily Gospel readings of Advent. It will be available at the parish by the first Sunday of Advent. You can also download the booklet here.
To participate in Advent Virtual Retreat, just sign up below (registration closes Sunday December 6).
