What is this day of reflection?

The Office of Youth Ministry would like to provide everyone that works with youth this opportunity for prayer & reflection with the hope that you focus on your ministry and your teens - this is an intentional day to meet before Advent to pray, reflect and plan your ministry activities for Advent. As we prepare for another Liturgical year it is important to take time to reflect on your personal relationship with Christ as well as your ministry. Take the time this Advent to Behold, Your Mother! See how her example leads you to as deeper relationship with Christ!
