Wednesdays Nov. 29th, Dec. 6th, 13th, and 20th

Each Advent, we celebrate a new beginning. Although we enter into these four weeks as a time of preparation for Christmas and recalling the birth of the Lord, the Scriptures of the season begin by calling to mind the end time and the return of Christ. This is also part of Advent-to help us prepare for the return of Christ in glory. It’s not a matter of either/or but both/and.

Join us for our Advent Reflections as we explore the Sunday Scriptures. Beginning on Wednesday, November 29 and on each of the Wednesdays of Advent we will reflect on the Scriptures for the coming weekend. By anticipating the Scriptures and themes for each, you will have a greater appreciation for them and, hopefully, have a more fruitful and spiritual Advent.

The first 30 registrants will be assigned to the Daytime Advent Reflections which will begin at 10:00 AM and include a reflection on the Scriptures, the celebration of Holy Mass, and lunch with the friars. This workshop will be $20 per class or $60 for the four-week series. If there is enough demand, we will host an Evening Advent Reflections which will begin at 6:30 PM and include a reflection on the Scriptures and a prayer service. The evening class will be $10 per class or $30 for the four-week series.

All classes will be held at St. Bernardine Monastery, 768 Monastery Road, Hollidaysburg. To register for the workshop, please send your payment to:
