Advent Retreat: “The Lord Waits For You”
‘THE LORD WAITS FOR YOU’
Thursday 30th November to Sunday 3rd December 2023
On our Advent Journey we reconcile the history of our lives, embrace the gift of the present and welcome the mystery of tomorrow. We walk with each other on the synodal pathway to that place of peace, reconciliation, and hope – to Bethlehem. In a style that is reverent, reflective, challenging and faith-filled, Fr. Willie Purcell reflects on the mystery and reality of our own Advent story as we make peace with our past, discover our personal truth and arrive where God wants us to be.
Facilitated by Fr Willie Purcell
Cost: €390 (residential)
