The Good Shepherd invites us to rest awhile among the grassy meadows and flowing streams. He wants us to relax in his presence — to be nourished, strengthened and renewed. In this place, we may turn from a closed fist of denial, frustration and turmoil to an open hand of acceptance, relaxation and serenity.

-Gavin Murphy

Come rest.

Relax into prayer.

Leave renewed.

This Advent, you are invited to journey with Mary through the season. Like Mary, we are asked to leave behind what we know for the gift of what God offers us.

We will share a light breakfast and coffee together before spending time in the quiet oasis of the Church of St. Mary the Virgin, nestled in the midst of New York City’s Times Square. This quiet day is offered by the parish of St. Mary the Virgin. Donations are welcome to offset costs.
