Women's Advent Study:  

Illuminate: A Guided Advent Journal for Prayer and Meditation leads you on a four-week journey through darkness to light.

Beginning with the prologue of St. John’s gospel, he reveals the profound hope found in the Word made flesh—the sacred mystery of the Incarnation. "If we do not embrace the darkness, we cannot welcome the light. This is the heart of Advent: a season of trustful surrender, renewed receptivity, and silent vigil. It is the time when we wait for the coming of the light—not just in the Christ child at Christmas, but in the inner illumination of God’s presence in the soul. God, who is conceived in silence and born in poverty, comes again to fill the soul with light (From the Introduction).”

We will meet Tuesdays December 2, 9, 16 & 23 at 9:30AM (Gathering Space) and 7:00PM (McEleney Hall). Books will be available for purchase in the Gathering Space after all masses. Books are $9.
