The Season of Advent is a time to prepare for the coming of Christ. We prepare for the final coming at the end of time and the historical coming 2,012 years ago, but most of all we prepare our hearts to receive Christ as He comes to us anew at this particular time and place.

The Christmas Raffle Tickets have been mailed out to all of our families and should have been received this week. Unfortunately, it has come to our attention that some of our families only received one book of tickets instead of the two that Monsignor noted in his letter. If you only received one book, please stop in the office and pick up your additional book, they are in a basket on the table in the Gathering Space. Our parish depends on our fund raisers for the extras not covered by our annual budget. We apologize for this error.
