Advent Retreat for Adults

Advent is a season of expectant waiting and preparation. The season invites us to open our hearts to the ways God is breaking into our lives and the world.

Through a series of meditations, prayers and contemplative practices, we invite Loyola parents, alumni and friends to enter into this holy season. Each week we will explore different faces from the Nativity story, mining the familiar stories for their wisdom and guidance. Each session stands alone. Join us for one week, two weeks or all three. This is a busy time of year. Give yourself the gift of time—the time to be attentive to the deeper stirrings in your heart.
