Young Adult Advent Retreat

The Diocese of Raleigh invites all young adults (ages 18-35) to step away from the busyness of the Advent season for a day of prayer, reflection, and fellowship. The day will include spiritual talks, periods of prayer, small group discussions, opportunities for the Sacrament of Reconciliation, and a Vigil Mass to conclude our time together. 

Advent is a season of preparation, anticipation, and renewal as we await the celebration of Christ's birth. Whether you are new to the faith, returning after time away, or seeking to deepen your relationship with God, the Father has something prepared for you here. 

We are honored to welcome Fr. Carlos Salas, O.P., a Dominican friar and Catholic priest of the Province of St. Martin de Porres. Fr. Carlos is currently based in Irving, Texas, and will serve as our retreat presenter for the day. 

No cost to attend. Nursing children are welcome. Lunch will be provided.
