On November 15th from 10:00AM to 6:00PM we will be hosting our annual Nativity Retreat with Fr. Anthony Gilbert. Fr. Anthony holds two graduate degrees in literature: a master’s degree in English language and literature from San Diego State University and a doctoral degree in English and medieval literature and culture from the University of Victoria. During the retreat we will discuss St. Gregory the Theologian’s Oration 38, a Patristic work—given as a sermon at the Feast of Theophany—focused on the theology of Christ’s Incarnation and how His Nativity fits into the story of all creation.
