Advent Faith Formation
Mary holds an estimable place in the arc of salvation history. In the words of the Rev. Dr. Amy Peeler, "The fact that God was born of a woman - the mode of the incarnation - determines how all Christians view the triune God as well as all people made in the divine image. " Join us for this three-part series as we come to know our Lord more fully by encountering Mary in art, prayer, and Scripture.​ Each session starts at 12:45pm in the Library with lunch.
