LINWOOD SPIRITUAL CENTER
RHINEBECK, NEW YORK
God with us!
“Advent is a continuous call to hope. It reminds us that God is present in history to lead it to its ultimate goal and to its fullness, which is the Lord Jesus Christ. God is present in the history of humanity, He is the ‘God-with-us’, He walks beside us to support us.”
Pope Francis , 1st Sunday of Advent ,2020.

From May 2021 until July 2022, the Society of Jesus celebrates an Ignatian Year.
What is an Ignatian Year? May 20, 2021 marks the 500th anniversary
of St. Ignatius’ conversion — that fateful day when Ignatius the soldier, struck by a cannonball, began his transformation into Ignatius the pilgrim.
The Jesuit Conference of Canada and the United States has prepared a landing page for all things Ignatian Year. Go to /www.jesuits.org/spirituality/ignatian-year/
There you'll find prayers, events, resources, videos and more!
While our hands are full of domestic challenges, our brothers and sisters abroad are in desperate need.
