Advent by Candlelight 2024

Advent by Candlelight is an annual event for the women of our St. Anne Catholic Community.  It is an elegant evening created to celebrate our roles as women of Faith, Mothers, Grandmothers, Sisters, Aunts, Daughters, Teachers, Friends and Caretakers of our communities.  Many of us wear more than one of these hats and often forget these roles are not just duties we perform but are acts of love and service to God that can only be achieved through His grace.  These roles, this VOCATION we have answered YES to, can often leave us feeling overstretched, drained or scattered.  Let us utilize this most blessed Season of Advent to prepare our hearts and recenter our minds on the gift of womanhood.  Join us for this beautiful night of faith, fellowship, gratitude and reflection as we honor women, past, present and future who choose to live this vocation with Grace.

The Evening:

Advent by Candlelight is intended to be an elegant night of faith and fellowship among women to celebrate the beginning of the Advent Season.  This event will be CATERED (dinner and dessert) and will also feature an INSPIRATIONAL SPEAKER.  Our hope is that every woman present, regardless of her stage in life, leaves this event with a joyful heart.   

What is the format?

The event includes table hosts who decorate their tables and invite up to 9 guests to join them. Registration is open to all women. We encourage you to invite women both within and outside of our St. Anne Community you feel will enjoy this faith-filled evening.  If you have friends, family, neighbors discerning joining our community, we would love for you to bring them along as well. 

What if I do not have a table host?

If you do not have a table host, you will be placed at a table, where you can enjoy the evening with other ladies. 
 

When does the evening begin?

At 6pm the doors will open for socializing and table- viewing. The program will begin promptly at 6:30pm.

What do I wear?

Casual dressy is the requested attire.  

How do I register?

You can register here. Please note that you do not need to register if your table host is paying for your reservation.  

How much is registration?
