'What gift do you want this Christmas?' by Abbot Robert

Saturday 25th December 11am

What gift would be so precious that you would never want to let go of it?

In this short reflection Abbot Robert would like to give you a gift that you will enjoy not just for Christmas but forever. A gift that you would not want to refuse. 

Are you ready to receive this gift? Are you curious what it is? 

Then make sure you listen to Home Retreat on Christmas Day at 11.00am. You really do not want to miss it!
