Advent Day of Reflection

“What Are You Waiting For?”
Led by Michael Norko, MD, MAR
Advent never seems long enough. We have barely finished the Thanksgiving bustle, and the Christmas flurry is upon us. Before that commotion consumes us, it would be good to take a moment and make space to appreciate the spirituality of the season of waiting; to consider what it is that we are waiting for, and how we are waiting. The word Advent comes from the Latin adventus, meaning arrival or coming. In this time together, we will reflect on our hopes for what will come, and how our practice of waiting, both in solitude and in solidarity, prepares our hearts for God’s action in our lives.
The day retreat begins with a conference, the Sacrament of Reconciliation and lunch followed by a beautiful Advent Liturgy of the Eucharist.
The same program will also be offered in the evening from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. on Wednesday, December 2, 2026.
