Retreat with the “Little Arab” Saint

This year, Saint Mariam (Baouardy) of Jesus Crucified, the "little Arab" born in Palestine, will guide us on our Advent journey toward Christmas. Saint Mariam (1846-1878), a humble Carmelite who learned to read and write as an adult, founded Carmelite monasteries in India and the Holy Land.

Our Friar invited us all to join in this free online retreat. You may want to register on retreat-online.karmel.at or follow the retreat on their Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RetreatOnlineCarmelites

Have a peaceful Advent retreat to you all.

“May the light of Christ shine brightly in your heart and home this Christmas and throughout the New Year.”

Blessed Christmas to you and your family.

From us in Carmel, Perth WA.
