As we begin the beautiful season of Advent we prepare for the coming Jesus Christ in the flesh! What a wonderful time for us to prepare spiritually.

Regular Mass attendance each Sunday is so important for our spiritual lives. In addition to Sunday Mass you might want to come to a daily Mass during the season of Advent. Daily Mass is offered Monday thru Friday, 7:30am & 9:00am and 8:00am on Saturdays.

In addition to the opportunity for the Sacrament of Penance on Saturdays from 4:00-4:45pm in the Church, Confession is available on Monday, December 19th from 4:00pm until 8:00pm. This is the “Reconciliation Monday” that will be celebrated throughout the whole Archdiocese. A priest will be available for Confession in the Church during these times. Confessions will also be available on Tuesday, December 20th & Wednesday, December 21st at 9:30 am in the Confessional in the Chapel.

Please join us for our ADVENT HOLY HOUR on Sunday December 18th from 4-5 pm. Holy Hour along with Solemn Evening Prayer with Benediction of the Most Blessed Sacrament.

May this Advent Season be a time of grace and blessing for you and your families.
Let us all prepare well for the coming of Jesus into our world, our lives and our hearts.

A Blessed Advent to you all!!
God’s Blessings,
Fr. Lagiovane
