ST DAMIAN’S FULL DAY ADVENT RETREAT

Dear Parishioners, Friends, and Visitors,

I extend a heartfelt invitation to all of you for a full-day Advent Retreat taking place at St Damian's Church - 5 Settlement Road, Bundoora, Vic 3083 on December 9, 2023. The retreat will run from 10 am to 4 pm and promises to be a day of spiritual enrichment and reflection.

Our theme for this special day is “Mary's Yes to God's Call.” Led by the Melbourne Archdiocesan Proclaim Office, the retreat will encompass various elements such as Praise & Worship, insightful Talks, moments for Reflection, enriching Discussion, and an opportunity for Sharing.

The parish will be providing Morning Tea and Lunch, ensuring a nourishing and enjoyable day for everyone attending. I encourage you to mark this date in your diary and extend this invitation to your friends and families. It would be wonderful to commence our Advent journey by spending precious time in the company of Mary, reflecting on her unwavering faith and willingness to answer God's call.

Your presence will truly enrich this event, fostering a sense of community and shared spiritual growth. I eagerly anticipate meeting and sharing this meaningful day with each one of you.

With warm regards,

Fr. Joe Dong Tran
