The Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us.
from The Angelus
As Christmas approaches, our lives can quickly fill with preparations: shopping, decorating, cooking,
family gatherings, and all those things we want to do to make Christmas special for those we love. These
are good things, often expressions of love. But in the midst of doing so much, have we left enough room
for the One whose birth we celebrate?
You are invited to join us at Holy Family Parish on Saturday, December 19, 2026 for a special Advent retreat:
The Word was Made Flesh – Falling More in Love with Christ.
We begin with a beautiful early-morning Roraté Mass, and we set aside the busyness of the season and spend a day rediscovering the wonder at the heart of Christmas. Through Scripture, talks, personal testimonies, Praise and Worship, prayer, community, and meals, we will reflect on the
extraordinary mystery proclaimed in John’s Gospel: the eternal Word of God became flesh and came to dwell among us.
Simple continental breakfast and lunch are provided.
Saturday, December 19
