An Adult Christmas at Christmas   

Friday, December 21 - Sunday, December 23, 2018

Retreat Description: This retreat will focus on chapter 2 of Matthew's Gospel and chapter 2 of Luke's Gospel. We will consider 4 infancy narrative stories: The Magi, The Shepherds, The Presentation, and the Finding in the Temple. Based on the work of Sulpician scholar Raymond Brown, it will provide a path for connecting these stories to the rest of the Gospel to see that the evangelists' concern is so much more than a Baby Jesus at Christmas.

Presenter: Father Stephen Coffey, OSB Cam, a Massachusetts native, is a monk of the Camaldolese Congregation of the Order of St. Benedict, and lives at the Monastery of the Risen Christ in San Luis Obispo, where he is director of Oblates. He is a retreat director, spiritual director, and is involved in other formation ministries at the Hermitage in Big Sur and at San Lorenzo Seminary in Santa Ynez. He is a graduate of St. John's School of Theology in Collegeville, MN and holds degrees in Christian Spirituality from Creighton in Omaha and in Pastoral Leadership from Chaminade in Honolulu.
