Fr. Richard Rohr helps us to understand how our failings can be the foundation for our on-going spiritual growth. Presenters: Kathleen Detlet |

"REJOICING HEARTILY IN THE LORD" 5:30 pm Supper 6:15 pm - 7:45 pm Presentation Caldwell Dominican Motherhouse Registration appreciated by December 7, 2017 Fee: $25 - $35 (pay within your means) On the Third Sunday of Advent this year, the first reading is from Isaiah 61:1-11. It was used by Jesus in his inaugural sermon at Nazareth (Luke4:16-30) to describe the mission that he had received from God. During this Advent evening reflection, we will consider the meaning of Isaish's words, how Jesus used them to describe his own mission, and distinguished his mission from that of John the Baptist. What significance does this text hold for us today, who continue to wait in joyful hope for the coming of our Savior, Jesus Christ. Presenter: Paul Sansone |
