Carols & Candlelight

2 p.m. Sunday, December 17

Plan to share a special spiritual Sunday with our Sisters and a soul-stirring Christmas choir under the inspired direction of Charles Briggs. From 2 to 3:30 p.m. next Sunday, December 17, we will host Carols & Candlelight, a celebration of the season in song and story. Please join us and our friends from St. Francis Center for Renewal for this special gathering in the Monocacy Manor White House Chapel. No RSVP is necessary.

“During this Advent season, let us find ways to be in solidarity with those at war, with those who find themselves in conflict with others, those who are marginalized, the voiceless and the powerless, and with those who have lost all joy and hope.”

— Sister Marian Sgriccia
