On Saturday, December 4th, the New Jersey Area conducted its annual Advent Day of Reflection, led by Rev. Msgr. Sylvester Cronin, ChM, at St. James Roman Catholic Church.

This event also included the Sacrament of Reconciliation, with the Rev. John Butler, ChDD, Rev. Msgr. William Fadrowski, ChM, and Rev. Owen Moran, ChM, followed by a luncheon in the church’s community room. 

Monsignor Cronin ended his morning conference with Mass and urged members to adopt four spiritual habits during Advent:  

• Increase our love
• Discern what is of value
• Be filled with gratitude
• Be blameless in God’s eyes
