Oblates and Oblate Novices are strongly encouraged to attend either this day of reflection or one that will be scheduled in Lent:
December 5: Abbot Placid Solari And Father Dwight Longenecker Lead An Advent Morning Of Reflection
Come “prepare the way of the Lord” in your mind and heart with our very special Advent Morning of Reflection, beginning at 9 a.m. on December 5th in the Haid Theatre at Belmont Abbey College.
Our reflection leaders will be Abbot Placid Solari, O.S.B., and Father Dwight Longenecker.
Abbot Placid acts as the spiritual father of the monks of Belmont Abbey, and instructs the youngest monks in The Rule of Saint Benedict. He is also the Chancellor of Belmont Abbey College and is much in demand as a mission and retreat leader.
Father Longenecker is a married former Anglican priest who converted to the Catholic faith in 1995 and was ordained a Catholic priest in 2006. He is the author of ten books, including Listen My Son, a daily Benedictine devotional book which applies The Rule of Saint Benedict to the task of modern parenting. He is also a very popular retreat leader.
So attendees are in for quite a spiritual treat.
Admission is free to the public. However, donations to help us defray the cost of the event won’t go unappreciated!
Our seating capacity is limited so please register online by December 1 by CLICKING HERE. If you have any questions, please call Joan Bradley at (704) 461-6009 or email her at JoanBradley@bac.edu.
Come give yourself a much-deserved early Christmas gift. One that will leave you feeling full of joy, love, peace and hope.
