Location: Ignatius House

“An Advent Sabbath” offers you an opportunity to be still, catch your breath and ponder the magnanimity of God’s love in giving us Jesus, Emmanuel. It is a perfect way to get caught up in the peacefulness of Advent and the real meaning of Christmas!

This is time for you to pause in the midst of preparations for Christmas, to pray and reflect on Mary’s response to the Spirit of God dwelling within her, on Joseph’s devotion to the woman he loves, and on the mystery of Jesus’ incarnation among us today. T’is indeed an opportunity not to be missed! It’ll make your Christmas Merry indeed!

Check-in begins at 8:30 am, when a light breakfast is available. Program begins in the Chapel promptly at 9am. Lunch will be served in the dining room mid-day. The day concludes at 3:00 p.m. after Mass.
