Holy Family Retreat Center, Advent Day or Evening
Retreat: The Spirituality of Waiting, with Bill
Walsh
Tuesday, Dec 8, 10 a.m.- 2 p.m. or 6-9 p.m. Holy
Family Retreat Center, West Hartford. The irony of the Advent season is that
right when our faith tradition calls us to slow down and wait patiently in
preparation for the celebration of Christmas, our culture sounds the bell to rev
up and make our already overly busy and stressful lives even more hectic. Come
join us for a conversation on the spirituality of waiting. What are we waiting
for and how do we wait for it? Presented by Bill Walsh, associate retreat
director at Holy Family, the workshop costs $40 to attend and includes a
meal. 860-760-9705. www.holyfamilyretreat.org
