Advent is a time of anticipating the coming of Jesus. This retreat, intended for those with some familiarity with the Benedictine Rule, will be a time to connect the season with St. Benedict’s teaching that we should find Christ daily in all those we meet.

An evening social will be held on Friday, from 6-7:00 p.m. Please plan to join and meet your fellow retreatants.

Please register no later than December 1. Once we have received your registration, we will send you an invoice for the retreat. Please know we have scholarships available; if you would like to make a request, email S. Carol Ann at sophia@mountosb.org. We strongly encourage you to add sophia@mountosb.org to your email contacts to ensure the delivery of emails regarding your retreat.
