and The Nativity”

We are honored to have, as guest speaker, Fr. Jerome Wolbert, OFM, who will help us prepare to celebrate then birth of Our Lord by exploring Scripture, hymns and carols and the prayers of the Byzantine Catholic Church. Fr. Jerome grew up in St. Michael's Byzantine Catholic Church in Flushing Michigan and has served in Byzantine parishes in Pennsylvania. He currently resides at the Franciscan Monastery of the Holy Land in American, Washington D.C. 

Spaced among the talks is time for private reflection and a catered lunch.
