Advent Prayer Evening Series – “Belonging During Advent … for ourselves, others and God”

In these divided times when so many feel paralyzed by fear and darkness, San Damiano invites you to discover the healing power of cherished belonging. Through three contemplative evening sessions, we’ll explore how the Incarnation reveals our deepest identity—as beloved spiritual beings created in God’s image—and how this transforms our relationships with ourselves, one another, and God. Drawing on the Franciscan tradition’s wisdom, we’ll move together from isolation to communion, from darkness to light, using prayer, silence, music, and reflection to experience God’s cherishing love that gives us meaning, identity, and freedom. Join us at this Oasis of Peace as we prepare our hearts to welcome the Christ child and rediscover the hope and courage we need for these times.
