Advent retreat/October workshops

Advent retreat/October workshops

Plan now to take part


Participants in the 2013 NRVC Advent retreat gave positive feedback about the experience.

NRVC invites vocation and formation ministers to renew their spirits at "Advent Days of Renewal and Reflection," to be held December 14-17 at the Redemptorist Renewal Center in Tucson, Arizona, located in the Sonoran Desert.

Co-sponsored by NRVC and the Religious Formation Conference, this retreat will be led by Sister Addie Lorraine Walker, S.S.N.D. It will offer opportunities to embrace spiritual practices characteristic of Advent: waiting, accepting, anticipating, pondering and listening with heightened awareness, gratitude, and silence. 

A similar retreat was held in 2013 and was well-received by participants. Sister Maria Brizuela, O.S.F. wrote that she appreciated the "opportunity to take the time to pause and breathe intentionally … and in community with other vocation ministers."
