"Advent Retreat Day”

....we invite you to look beyond Thanksgiving for a moment to the season of Advent. This season of hope-filled expectation will be very short this year (the fourth Sunday of Advent is also Christmas Eve), so we are inviting you to plan ahead and consider attending a new “St. Martha & St. Mary Advent Retreat Day” on Saturday, December 2, from 8:30am – 3:30pm at the Mount St. Mary Abbey Retreat House in Wrentham. The handsome McMahan house and beautiful abbey grounds provide a special opportunity to get away for some reflection time without going far away.

Our clergy and Adult Faith Formation Team will provide Morning Prayer, daily Mass, a couple of spiritual talks, lots of quiet reflection time, and a soup & sandwich lunch. Registration is just $25 per person, and with capacity limited to 40 people (including the team). Please register before Thanksgiving by clicking here! 

Contact me or Anne Lesnik ([email protected]) with any questions you may have, and don’t miss this one-time opportunity to truly experience the joyful expectation of the spirit of Advent!
