Oriens A Pilgrimage Through Advent And Christmas 2024

Make a life-changing pilgrimage, beginning this Advent.

Oriens is a Latin word meaning "rising" and "dawn." Your Oriens journey begins on the First Sunday of Advent and continues through Advent and the traditional Christmas season until the feast of the Presentation on February 2. Each day, you'll take a step closer to "the dawn from on high."

Fr. Joel Sember is your leader on this pilgrimage, one in which you will learn what God is revealing to you through Scripture and prayer. With Oriens as your guidebook, you'll learn how to pray and reflect more deeply. For each entry, you'll read a Scripture passage, receive Fr. Joel's guidance on how to pray with that passage, and find questions for reflection and journaling.

Welcome, Oriens pilgrim.
