CHRISTMAS LIGHTS

ILLUMINATING THE WAY TO CHRIST

ADVENT RETREAT at SAINT IRENAEUS

Tuesday, December 5
7:00 - 8:30 p.m. in the church

With Very Rev. Christopher Smith, Rector Emeritus, Christ Cathedral


Advent is the time to prepare for the celebration of the birth of God’s beloved son, Jesus Christ, into the world. Christmas reminds us that in the midst of life’s constant challenges and changes, Jesus is with us to give us strength, guidance, and encouragement.


Like the Christmas lights that brighten our trees and homes, Fr. Christopher will share unique and inspiring thoughts to help light the way to a holy and hope-filled Christmas.

Act of Contrition

“O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended thee, and I detest all my sins because I dread the loss of heaven and the pains of hell; but most of all because they have offended thee, my God, who art all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help of thy grace, to confess my sins, to do penance, and to amend my life.”
