On Dec. 5, 2021, at 1 p.m., we will welcome Virginia Herbers, Director of Mission Formation at Saint Louis University, for an Advent Afternoon Reflection called "Hidden Figures in Advent."

Even when we are deliberate about celebrating Advent, even when we pay attention to the Scriptures and the season and our prayer … even then, it is easy to overlook some people and aspects who show up in our Advent readings year after year. This afternoon reflection will invite us to stop and notice, engage and receive, that we might be more committed Advent people — waiting in hope for the coming Christ.
