We'd love to have you join us for our upcoming Advent Retreat this year! The retreat will begin with registration at 8:00 am EST and will end at around 12:45 pm.  The day will include Mass celebrated with Fr. Andy Davy, Marian of the Immaculate Conception, a reflection by Sr. Eliana Day, TOR, adoration with guided prayer and meditation led by Sr. Sarah Rose Dent, TOR, music, and prayer ministry. You will also have the option to meet after the retreat to receive prayer ministry from the sisters if not able to during adoration. See schedule below.

Registration is encouraged but not necessary. 

 Fr. Andy Davy, mic

Originally from Maryland, Fr. Andy entered the community in 2003, after his time as a university student at The Catholic University of America. Ordained to the priesthood in 2009, he served at St. Mary's Parish in Plano, Illinois, where he was pastor. He focused much of his time on helping children, youth, and young adults discover the love and mercy of God, and mentors them to become missionary disciples.

He is a huge fan of the great works of literature, most notably the works of J.R.R. Tolkien, and gives retreats on them to young adult communities from time to time.

He is a singer, drummer, horseback rider, Muppet aficionado, and loves just about everything (except butter pecan ice cream).

In 2023, he was awarded his Licentiate in Sacred Theology (STL) from the School of Theology of Sacred Heart Major Seminary in Detroit, Michigan.

He is the host of "Gospel Picnic," a weekly program for kids on the upcoming Sunday Mass readings.
