As we lit the Advent wreath at mass yesterday, we wondered how it will be when we come back to it at our New Year Vigil. We hope you are able to join us then or for part of your Advent path - taking time to retreat, joining us for mass or registering for an evening meeting.
Le gach solas a lonraíonn go geal, árdaigh ár groíthe, a Thiarna.

Retreat
Make your Advent special by choosing to take some time of retreat. Whether on your own or with others from your community, you will find material for morning and afternoon for a one, two or three days. The first parts of the retreat are already available and will remain so throughout Advent. You are invited to join others who have availed of the retreat opportunity to consider the content more deeply on Tuesday evenings of Advent.
In December, Pope Francis asks us to that our personal relationship with Jesus Christ be nourished by the Word of God and a life of prayer; our Advent Retreat may help you to that end.
Seasonal Reflections
We hope to publish reflections on aspects of Advent throughout the season. You are welcome to join others online to reflect and pray further on the themes offered. You can register for these Thursday evening meetings on our website.
