- 2021 Advent Retreat
Rooted in Prayer: Textures of Advent
In lieu of our multi-day fall retreat, Daughters from Province 1 will gather for a one-day retreat on December 11 from 9am to 3pm. Lunch will be served. This event will be held at All Saints Parish, 1773 Beacon Street, Brookline MA 02445.
Register here! (We will provide lunch for all registered participants.)
“Rooted in Prayer: Textures of Advent” will provide multi-sensory moments of quiet reflection as well as time for us to reconnect and revitalize our relationships with one another after so much time in isolation.
The retreat will be led by Libby Gatti, a chaplain, organizer, and postulant to the priesthood based in Boston, MA. She currently serves as the Program Coordinator for Fenway Health’s ACCESS Drug User Health Program, where she supports folks who inject drugs to reduce harm and promote community. Previously, she worked as a chaplain with folks living on the street or in shelters through the MANNA Community. Often, folks out on the street are considered for what they lack—housing, healthcare, money, stability, etc. The community at MANNA, and the ACCESS Program, consider not only what we each need, but what gifts we each have to offer and how to make space for those gifts to shine. One of the many blessings of being a community facing homelessness and/or addiction is that it is hard to forget the depths of our need for each other, and opportunities to share our gifts abound. Libby has led trainings around the country on spiritual care, anti-oppression work, and somatic practice, and was a contributing writer for the Educating Effective Chaplains interactive learning platform at the Chaplaincy Innovation Lab. She holds a BA in Theology from Fordham University and a Master of Divinity from Boston University, where she found her academic focus in liberation theology, gender studies, and conflict resolution.
