Advent By Candlelight

A Special Evening for Women

Advent by Candlelight is a special evening for women to become renewed and refreshed, taking time from the Christmas rush.  This is an opportunity to relax and refocus on the season of Advent -- a wonderful time of waiting and anticipation.  In a relaxing atmosphere, lit only by candlelight, guests are served a delightful dessert by a table hostess.  The program, held on Sunday, December 11th from 6:30 - 8:00 pm on the third floor of Jesuit Hall, includes uplifting Scripture readings, music and reflections focused on the Advent season.

"Coming to the Manger"

One woman can sign up a table of friends up to 8 women and will become the hostess for her table.  As a hostess, she sets her table, with the year's theme in mind and provides a dessert for her guests.  This year's theme is "Coming to the Manger."  A group can decorate their table together and everyone bring a dessert to share.  Whether there is one hostess or everyone works together, the women may decide to bring table settings as elegant as china, or may bring paper products to use.  You are invited to bring any adult beverage of your choice to enjoy with your dessert.  The parish will provide coffee.
