2021 Theme: "Hark the Herald Angels Sing"

About the Theme

   This year's Virtual Advent retreat features reflections, prayers and videos created by Bishop Robert Barron.  The themes for the week are -- Slow Down, Christmas Light, Bethlehem, Entertaining Angels, the Humility of the Shepherds, A Holy Family, and Joy to the World -- are designed to help participants slow down and draw deeper into the elements of Christmas that are often overlooked.  Use these daily reflections to make time to prepare spiritually for the celebration of Christ's birth at Christmas.
   The reflections will arrive by email so you can use them in the privacy of your home or workplace, or share them with family friends or a small faith-sharing group.
