“It was because of love that the Word of God became flesh and dwelt among us.”

Advent can be a time of waiting with joyful excitement and intense anticipation, when we are reminded that two thousand years ago Jesus, God’s Son – the Word become a human being – was born.

You are invited as part of your preparation for Christmas to come together for a series of (four) one-hour prayerful evenings using some of the meditation practices based on the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius.

The journey is best experienced over the four weeks, however if you cannot attend all four weeks you are welcome to attend when you can.

The retreat starts Monday 28th November and thereafter on 5th, 12th and 19th December at 6 pm at St. Patrick’s Basilica Fremantle Parish Centre. There is no charge.

John Auer, the retreat leader, has been leading retreats and quiet days for more than two decades, here and in England. He is also a member of a CLC group using Ignatian prayer practices, meeting fortnightly.
