Mystical Roses Advent Retreat 
Friday, December 4 - Sunday, December 6, 2026
During Advent, we celebrate two beautiful Marian feast days: the Feast of the Immaculate Conception (December 8) and the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe (December 12). These celebrations are fittingly placed within this season of joyful expectation and preparation for the coming of Jesus Christ.
 
One of Mary's most beloved titles is "Mystical Rose," a reminder of the supernatural beauty of the one who brings the fragrance of Christ into the world and draws souls into his presence. Fittingly, it was roses that miraculously bloomed in the dead of winter on Tepeyac Hill—given by Our Lady and gathered by St. Juan Diego as the sign that confirmed her message.
 
Please join us at Nazareth Retreat House for a special Marian Advent retreat as we ask Mary, the Mystical Rose, to draw us more deeply into the hope, expectation, and joyful waiting with which she awaited the birth of her Son.
Suggested Donation for Single Room Occupancy (Limited Availability): $275

“Let Yourself Be Loved!”
“In the first place it should be known that if a person is seeking God, his Beloved is seeking him much more.” ~Saint John of the Cross

Living in a world in which we are consistently bombarded with noise, it can be difficult at times to hear the voice of God. This retreat is an invitation to enter into the silence so that God’s voice can be amplified. One or two conferences will be offered each day, providing opportunities to learn more about prayer and to dispose the heart of each retreatant to receive whatever God desires for her.

In addition to the conferences, the Sacraments of Mass and Reconciliation will be offered and there will be opportunities for each woman to have two-25 minute sessions of private spiritual direction. Recommendations for making a few personal Holy hours each day will also be provided.
