Advent is a time for listening in our hearts but we may be too busy to be attentive.

We will explore the Advent themes of light and darkness through the visual sculptures on display.

Trisha Day is the author of Inside the School of Charity: Lessons from the Monastery and a frequent contributor to Give Us This Day and Daily Prayer for Today's Catholics.
