Brother Priests,
Believe it or not, Advent is just around the corner! This year, our Advent Day of Reflection will take place on Thursday, December 7, at the Purification Heritage Center in Sharon, Georgia. Our facilitator will be Monsignor Richard Lopez, chaplain at Heritage and former religion teacher at St. Pius X High School. The schedule (below) was created to build in plenty of time for reflection and prayer on the beautiful and sacred historical grounds of Purification Heritage Center and the retreat property. If you would like to learn a little more about Heritage prior to our Day of Reflection, please visit https://www.heritagega.org/.
Registration is now open. Please contact Amanda Hailey at ahailey@archatl.com or by telephone at 678-595-9181.
