BRIDGEPORT—There’s still time to sign up for this weekend’s Women’s Advent Day of Reflection at the Catholic Center. The Leadership Institute and the Sisters of Life are excited to offer a Women’s Day of Reflection in preparation for Advent on Saturday, December 2, 2017, 8:30 am-2:30 pm at The Catholic Center, 238 Jewett Avenue, Bridgeport, CT 06606.
“The Art of Waiting” is the theme of the reflection, said Patrick Donovan, director of the Leadership Institute. “During the season of Advent, we are often distracted with many activities: shopping, decorating, baking, ending an academic semester, etc. However, this season ought to be about so much more than frenzied preparations. Above all, Advent is a time to slow down and prepare our hearts in an ever deeper way for Christ, and this brief day of reflection is just one way to give yourself the time and space to encounter Jesus,” Donovan said.
Donovan said the day of reflection is an opportunity to be renewed through the Sacraments (Mass, Reconciliation), Spiritual Talks, Rosary with meditations, reflective prayer, and of fellowship.
The Sisters of Life are a contemplative / active religious community of women founded in 1991 by John Cardinal O’Connor for the protection and enhancement of the sacredness of every human life. Their mission is building the Kingdom of God and the “Culture of Life.”.
The cost for the day is $25, which includes breakfast and lunch. Click here to register online, or call 203.416.1670.
