Advent 2021

/

Advent is here.  This year has been very challenging for all of us, and we may wonder how to hold hope and joy in our hearts right now.  

Advent blesses us with time to step back and focus on our true Hope and Joy- God loves us so much that He sends His only Son so that everyone who believes may have eternal life. ~John 3:16  

Take time during Advent to talk to Jesus and give Him your joys, struggles and questions. He came into this world for you!

Here are some resources and opportunities to help:

PARISH ALL SOULS’ MASS

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 7 PM

In our Catholic tradition, during the entire month of November, we pray for our loved ones who have died. Most especially, we remember them on November 2, the Commemoration of All Souls. All who grieve the loss of someone special, whether recently or years ago, are invited to attend the 7 pm All Souls’ Mass on Tuesday, November 2nd to pray and light a candle for loved ones who have died. 

To remember those whom we mourn in a tangible way and make their presence a part of this special liturgy, you are invited to bring a memento to place on a memory table prior to Mass. The memento might be a picture of your loved one or some other small article that means a great deal to you as you remember them. If you have questions, please contact the parish office.
