An Advent Retreat for Young Adults 20 – 45 :
‘Return of the King’
Fr Roderick Jones OSB
2009 November 27th - 29th
Advent is a time when the liturgy of the Church calls us to look towards
the coming of the Lord. This retreat will be an opportunity to reflect
on the significance of the Incarnation but also Jesus’ return
in glory at the fullness of time. What might it actually mean to live
in expectation of the returning King? How does Christ’s coming
in glory impact on our day to day lives?
Donations per personbetween between £56 and £152
