OCS 2020 Webinar

Advent 2020: The Season of Waiting -- When We're Sick of Waiting for Life to Go Back to Normal 

with Dr. Marcus Mescher, Xavier University 

The Center for Social Transformation and Leadership, in partnership with the Office of Catholic Schools for the Archdiocese of Seattle, is pleased to present this on-demand Advent Reflection webinar. 2020 has been a demanding year. As we celebrate the Season of Advent, this reflection exercise asks how can we turn to our Catholic identity for spiritual renewal? This webinar will explore waiting as an act of love and the implications for self-care, our responsibilities, relationships, and institutions. 

How to use this webinar:

As you watch the webinar, Dr. Mescher will invite you to pause and reflect on the questions he poses. We suggest either individually or communally pause and reflect on the questions. When this webinar was recorded, a small group of participants found the conversation during these reflection moments to be powerful and edifying. We encourage you to take this time of meditation or conversation. The total run time for the retreat experience, time for reflection included, is approximately one hour.
