Advent RetreatPrepare your heart for Christmas with St. Thérèse of Lisieux. St. Thérèse of Lisieux marked Christmas 1886 as the day of her “complete conversion.” This did not involve dramatic changes in what she believed. It only involved little changes in how she lived her very ordinary life. But her Christmas conversion led to the fulfillment of her desire to be a saint. Our 8th annual Advent Retreat will explore some of St. Thérèse’s very practical, lived examples of holiness and transformation. Mass is offered each day and Confessions are available. All meals are provided.Cost: The cost to reserve your spot is $100*
* A free-will donation request will be made by OLPH's Spiritual Director on the last day of the retreatIf you have any questions, please contact Denise Riley atDec. 8, 2021
