Immanuel: The God who wants to be with us - Advent Retreat
“The season of Advent, restores this horizon of hope, a hope which does not disappoint for it is founded on God’s Word. A hope which does not disappoint, simply because the Lord never disappoints! He is faithful! He does not disappoint! Let us think about this and feel this beauty.”
— Pope Francis
An Advent Retreat led by Sean Goan

About The Retreat
