Sister Marie Therese

Advent begins the Church year, and the first mystery we are asked to engage in is waiting. Our hearts stand waiting for the Father’s gift. This morning of reflection will invite you to discover new ways to make room in the stable of your hearts for Jesus, as we await His coming. Come, Lord Jesus, Come!

This program will be held in the first-floor conference room (blue room) of St. Francis Center at Monocacy Manor in Bethlehem, Pa. Participants are welcome to join us for coffee at 9:30 a.m.
