Advent Gathering

This past week the friars and sisters hosted a pre-Christmas gathering for the Consecrated Women and Men of the Archdiocese of Kingdom. the evening began with Evening prayer I for the Immaculate Conception and was followed by drinks and hors d'oeuvres on the back veranda of the Friary. Ham and roasted turkey (being carved by chef Tennessee) with all the trimmings were served in the St. Louis Educational and Social Center. It was a wonderful opportunity to come together as we prepare for the Lord's arrival.
