Accompaniment: How We Learn To Walk Together
Thursday, November 17 | 7:00 pm EST (virtual option available)
Presented by Rev. Dr. Steve Moore
Fee: $20, or whatever you can afford

When we think of living the Christian life we often think of discipleship and service, but these can mean many different things to different people. In this talk we will examine the Gospel mandate to serve one another and examine how we can best do that in our modern world. Drawing from the biblical tradition and modern theology we will look at how we can learn to accompany each other in new and deeper ways. Fee: $20, or whatever you can afford.

The Rev. Dr. Steven Moore is the director of the Spiritual Renewal Center, an Episcopal priest and licensed clinical psychologist. He is currently finishing a doctor of ministry at Colgate Rochester Crozier Divinity School and has focused his research on applying the prophetic tradition and liberation theology to our modern context.

Advent/Christmas Retreat
The Advent of God: Hope for all Creation
Four Thursdays, December 1 - December 22
9:30 - 11:00 am EST (in-person only)
Rev. Gerry McKeon, SJ
Fee: $65 or whatever you can afford

This Advent into Christmas Retreat invites us to spend time in daily personal prayer reflecting upon God’s drawing close to all of creation. It is a time of waiting for the revelation of Christ when all creation will be filled with the very fullness of God (See Eph. 3:19). In this Season of Hope, we are beckoned to open ourselves to the Divine indwelling who continues to be active in all of creation as the unfolding of grace upon grace. As we move into the final days of this retreat experience, we are given the opportunity to contemplate the Incarnation as it speaks Emmanuel to us – “God is with us.’ Participants agree to pray privately for 30 – 45 minutes each day and meet for sharing. 

Fr. Gerry McKeon, SJ is a Jesuit priest with extensive experience in spiritual direction and in offering the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius to men and women from all backgrounds. He has served as a chaplain at Ithaca College and Cornell University, and on the staff of Eastern Point retreat house in Gloucester, MA.

Join us for a day retreat during the Second Week of Advent. We're halfway there and what better way to bask in the grace of God than among fellow sojourners? The day will warm your heart and inspire your soul as we converse about God's promises and the ways we share that love.

Keeping Watch -  Day of Retreat

Friday, December 9 | 10 am - 3 pm
(in-person only)
Please bring a bag lunch
Presented by Meg Castellini

December offers chilly weather, shorter days and hours of holiday preparation. Likewise, Advent offers the gift of possibilities, the anticipation of new life and an invitation to bear light where there is darkness. Join retreat facilitator Meg Castellini as we take a closer look at the fulfillment of God’s promises and the hope we receive from Jesus’ promise to return. This retreat will shed light on how we prepare, keep watch, and actively take part in bringing life and light to our world.  Fee $40, please bring a bag lunch.

Meg Castellini has been leading retreats in the Central New York area for the past 16 years. Meg brings new meaning to scripture as she provides experiences which enrich our understanding and further our contemplation. Meg has served as a hospital chaplain and is currently using her gifts as communications specialist here at the Center.
