St. Angela’s Advent Day of Recollection Maranatha: Come, Lord Jesus
Saturday, December 7, 2024 8:30 a.m.
Centennial Hall and concluding with the celebration of the 4:30 pm vigil Mass.
Take some time to enrich yourself this Advent as we reflect on Christ’s coming into our lives in history and today. Spiritual talks by Fr. Patrick Schultz and our own Fr. Rich will help us to reflect on Jesus’ call to welcome Him more deeply into our hearts. Small group discussions, time for personal prayer and reflection, and fellowship will punctuate the day. Reconciliation, Eucharistic adoration, and the celebration of Mass will bind our day in the sacramental life of the Church.
Childcare will be available for those interested.
No fee is attached to the retreat, but free will offerings are gratefully accepted. Please register by December 2, either by dropping off the form to the Parish Center, or at the sacristy or collection basket at weekend Masses.
Attention all Virtus-trained parishioners! We are in need of a few adults to provide childcare for the Advent Day of Recollection, 8:30 am to 4:30 pm. If you can help for part of the day, or even the whole day, please contact Fr. Rich at frrich@samparish.org.
