Magnificat-Omaha Invites All Women to Our Advent Brunch

“Living in the Hope, Peace, & Joy of Advent“

Sorry, we are SOLD OUT!

Our Guest Speaker: Fr. Michael Voithofer  

       Magnificat-Omaha invites all women to our Advent Brunch with guest speaker Fr. Michael Voithofer. Fr. Voithofer is a priest in the Archdiocese of Omaha and the spiritual advisor for our Magnificat-Omaha Chapter. He is the Director of the Ablaze House of Prayer, which hosts Eucharistic Revival Worship Nights, and the Omaha Encounter School.

       Fr. Michael will share his earliest experiences of God’s Presence, starting with a small altar in his family home, to a high school knee injury that led to his hospitalization and full awareness of God’s love and Mary’s gentle care. A deeper encounter with the Holy Spirit during a Life in the Spirit Seminar, while attending Penn State University to study Architectural Engineering, led him to discover the Gifts of the Holy Spirit and hear a call to the priesthood.

       Fr. Michael will teach us how to set our Advent Journey afire with God’s love and heavenly joy. He says our lives can become the incense, and our hearts the flame. May the fire Jesus came to cast on the earth blaze ever more brightly through us, especially during this Holy Season!
