Advent

Today we had an Advent service with all of the departments at the College. Our Director Father Freddy gave a short presentation about the liturgical focus of each of the four weeks, and Sister Marleny lead us in a reflection interspersed with singing.


The reflection focused on preparing your heart for Christmas. How can better put into practice our love for our brothers and sisters in the world? How can we better serve our students who have entrusted in us their future, their hopes?



At the end, we each lit a candle and each asked for a gift from the Holy Spirit during this time of preparation: patience, understanding, peace, forgiveness.
