December 17-23  |  6:00-6:45 pm  |  Marywood Chapel of the Word

This December, the Dominican Sisters ~ Grand Rapids once again hosted a unique, seven-night Advent experience of prayer and song to quiet hearts and nurture spirits during this most holy season. 

We have posted the recordings below for you to watch or share with others who may be inspired by our guest speakers.

We hope you will plan to join us next year in-person or online!

The O Antiphons are short, Scripture-based Advent prayers from the Middle Ages that address Jesus using titles from various prophecies before His birth.

Our guest speakers offered heartfelt reflections guiding us into deeper contemplation of the O Antiphon title each night. Click here to learn more about our speakers.
