Men's Advent Retreat
Join us for the Men’s Retreat this Advent season, an opportunity to deepen your faith and connect with fellow parishioners! As we prepare our hearts for Christmas, we invite you to explore the theme “Finding Your Place in the Advent Story.”
​
This special evening will take place on Friday, December 6, from 6-9 PM in the Parish Hall. For just a $10 cover charge, enjoy a catered dinner while engaging in inspiring talks by Scott Roy, Acting President at Catholic Pacific College.
​
Together, we’ll uncover how today’s men can relate to the powerful characters of the Christmas story—Jesus, Joseph, Mary, and others—through reflection and fellowship.
​
Advent is a time of anticipation and hope as we await the coming of Christ. Let this retreat be a moment for you to draw closer to Jesus and discover your unique role in His story.
Registration opens on October 25, 2024. Don’t miss out on this transformative experience!
