Advent Reflections

Annually, CHA offers weekly Advent reflections to help Catholic health care organizations celebrate this important season. These Advent podcast reflections should enable your associates to gather in groups or individually to reflect on the meaning of this season in their lives.

They are offered as MP3 files for easy downloading and use. In addition, printable Word documents are included for each reflection so that participants can fully experience the message whether they prefer audio or visual delivery. Please take the opportunity to ask those participating in these reflections to read along with the audio files so that this is a participatory experience.

Overall, the goal is to provide a spiritual experience that will enhance the day-to-day work of those who serve God's people.
