Come and join us for a short time of retreat. We will consider the scripture, reflect on our lives, and share in some sacred time together. You can do all this from the comfort of your home. You can be alone or with others. You need not worry about how you are dressed or how you look. Take the time to relax in the Spirit of God’s goodness. Breath in the Spirit of Christmas. Behold. Consider. Contemplate. Long to be transformed in Christ.

Presenter: Fr. Tom Gallagher, O.F.M.
Music by: Meredith Augustin
