Advent 2025 Vocation Retreat
Each year, Mother Church gives us these beautiful weeks of Advent to prepare our hearts for the coming of Christ- both His First Coming at the Incarnation, and His Second Coming at the end of time. Like the five wise virgins in Our Lord’s parable, we are called to keep watch with eager expectation for the Bridegroom’s arrival.
So how fitting that five wonderful young discerners joined us for our annual Advent vocation retreat from November 28th-30th! Maria-Regina, Darby, Saliya, Sydney, and Kara shared our life of prayer, silence, and community recreation, while listening to talks about our Passionist life and the spiritual riches of this neglected liturgical season.
Please keep these courageous young ladies in your special prayers as they continue to follow the call of Christ in their unique discernment journeys!
