“Gathering on Hope” with Bishop Clark

The “Gathering on Hope with Bishop Matthew Clark” will offer an opportunity for participants to reflect on the topic of hope in a quiet, sacred setting and become renewed in the spirit.

The program will be presented in two locations:

§ 7 to 9 p.m. Monday, April 4, at St. Mary Our Mother Catholic Church, 816 W. Broad St., Horseheads, N.Y.

§ 7 to 9 p.m. Wednesday, April 6, at Sacred Heart Cathedral, 296 Flower City Park, Rochester, N.Y.

Along with reflections from Bishop Matthew Clark on the topic of hope, the evening will include spiritual readings on hope and time for individual and group reflection. Participants will develop individual action plans on the topic of hope to help guide them in daily living. There will also be a question-and-answer period with Bishop Clark and time for refreshments.

The event is a unique opportunity for women and men to take time away from the pressures of life to reflect and recharge in an evening mini-retreat. The program is free; no advance registration is required.

The evening is sponsored by the Women’s Commission of the Diocese of Rochester. The mission of the Women’s Commission is to lead, educate and voice issues in church and society that impact women and girls. The commission serves as an advisory board to the bishop on issues of concern to women in church and society. There are 18 members, including two college students, from a vriety of parishes in the diocese.

Beginning the Church’s liturgical year, Advent (from, “ad-venire” in Latin or “to come to”) is the season encompassing the four Sundays (and weekdays) leading up to the celebration of Christmas.

The Advent season is a time of preparation that directs our hearts and minds to Christ’s second coming at the end of time and also to the anniversary of the Lord’s birth on Christmas. The final days of Advent, from December 17 to December 24, focus particularly on our preparation for the celebrations of the Nativity of our Lord (Christmas).
