Please join us for the free virtual retreat we are planning on Saturday, December 4 10:00 am - 11:30 am ET. [Award-winning author and Catholic Mom contributor Marge Steinhage Fenelon](https://margefenelon.com/) will lead us in a prayerful reflection on the theme of "Waiting With Mary in Advent." Marge has several beautiful books on the topic of Mary, and she is a gifted, inspirational speaker.  In addition to Mary's presentation, we will have opening and closing prayer with Fr. Jim Phalan, CSC, time for small group discussions, and community prayer. Every participant will receive a free downloadable journal for use during the retreat and after. It is free to join this virtual event, but you must register to participate.
