Advent & Christmas 2024

Advent is a time of waiting, and a time of preparation.

During the four weeks of Advent, we prepare for the celebration of Christ’s birth through prayer and reflection. We contemplate the First Coming of Jesus as Savior, and anticipate his promised Second Coming. And amid the flurry of Christmas preparations, we look for practical ways to observe the holiness of the season in our everyday lives.

See below for all your Advent Information.

This year we are pleased to announce that our Giving Tree is up once again.

Donations can be dropped off at the Church until December 18th.

During the week of December 20th Fr. Bob will take all donated items to deliver in person to the Missionaries of Charity.

Thank you for your generosity.
