The Season of Advent is a time to prepare for the coming of Christ.

This preparation calls us to examine our conscience, identify our sinfulness, confess these failures, express our contrition, and to celebrate the forgiveness and love that God has for us.

  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.
