A Transforming Advent
How we can pray through Advent
in a way that is meaningful
to our own lives.

Sr. Mary Hogan, OSM

Tuesday, November 30th

11:30-12:30   -  SSC 104

All of us have areas of our lives that are imperfect and need healing. The Church offers us Advent as a time of healing and grace each year.

Sr. Mary's reflections will include the Holy Family, their lives of poverty and the ways we face it in our lives.

She will offer suggestions for ways to pray about global poverty and yet look at ways in which we can take action each day in our own lives.

Praying with humanity in Advent, a special reflection.
