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. 860-760-9705www.holyfamilyretreat.org
