ADVENT:
An invitation to stand back and pause. To begin a new season with a gentle reminder to prepare. A fresh beginning to be open to a blessing for yourself and for others on a fresh journey. To prepare our hearts for a venture and re-discover the joy of waiting for the coming of Christ. To explore fresh ways in prayer and poetry, reflection and listening to the promptings of God's word. An opportunity to explore some longing and allow an awakening to nurture your relationship with God. Advent is transformation time and feels free to sit in your own silence to wait and allow what can happen. Fr. Tony and Mark Garavan will join your company. To accommodate you and bring a friend along we encourage you to book with the Parish Office. 098 28871 One Hour on following dates: Tuesdays: Nov 24th; Dec 1; December 8th 15th at 7.00 - 8.00 p.m Carrowbeg House, The Mall
