"Waiting in Joyful Hope"

In this Jubilee Year 2025, “Pilgrims of Hope,” Pope Francis described hope as “a gift and a task of every Christian.” What does the season of Advent teach us about the importance of hope for our time? Our Advent morning retreat this year will explore the meaning of hope, signs of hope, and the call to hope in our daily lives as we wait joyfully for the coming of our Lord.

Presented by Heather Kinney, Associate Director for Academics and Pastoral Placement for the Paulist Fathers.
