Prepare your heart this Advent by joining The Finding the Treasure Called Mary Apostolate for our Marian retreat, “Awaiting Christ with Mary: An Advent Journey,” on Thursday, December 18, 2025, at the Jesuit Retreat Center, 5629 State Rd., Parma.

Taking place the week before Christmas, this day of reflection offers a spiritual head start—guiding you with peace and purpose as you journey toward the birth of Christ with renewed grace and readiness.

The day includes quiet reflection, Mass, and lunch. Registration and continental breakfast begin at 8:00 AM, and the first talk starts at 8:30 AM.

Early bird tickets (until Monday, November 10) are $60/person or $120/couple; afterwards, $75/person or $140/couple.
