Scranton Shorts


Dec 1, 2017

We sit down with Father Patrick Rogers, S.J., Executive Director of The Jesuit Center at The University of Scranton, to discuss the First Sunday of Advent, the Gospel readings chosen for this Sunday, the literal meaning of the word "advent," the history behind the season of Advent, the origin of the Advent Wreath, Venerable Bede (Look him up - We definitely had to!), St. Nicholas, how the Christmas season is celebrated around the world, and why we should slow down at this time of year to prepare for the coming of Christmas.
