the readings of the day and following along with the prayers of the Mass right
there on their phone or IPOD.

ADVENT MORNING OF REFLECTION
The Church teaches that all Christians, in
any state or walk of life, are called to holiness. But what does holiness look
like in this time and place? How do we find the paths to holiness that are
well-suited to the particular contexts of our daily lives? Come away for a
spell to reflect on these important questions as a means of preparing for the
coming of Christ anew in our hearts this Advent season. This reflection period
is scheduled for Fri., Dec. 4th from 9:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at St. Andrew’s
Bryce Eck Activity Center. The facilitator is Fr. Timothy Hayes, pastor of St. Timothy. The cost is
$10.oo, which includes lunch. Registration is due to the Office of
Ministry Formation (197 E. Gay St., Columbus, OH 43215) by Monday,
Nov. 30, 2009. For more information, contact Jean Morris,
admn. assistant at 614-241-2544 or jmorris@colsdioc.org. An online printable registration form is
available on the Office of Ministry Formation website: www.colsdioc.org.
