It can be difficult to prepare our lives for Christ amidst the busy preparations
of a material Christmas. The four weeks before Christmas are a time to prepare our families
to celebrate Christ’s birth: To prepare our minds to accept that God’s Son became a baby and lived and died for us; to prepare our hearts to accept God’s forgiveness, and to change our ways; to prepare our souls to receive God’s healing grace through the celebration of Mass; to take part in not only the work of preparation but also the hope and joy in the midst of our work.
During our Advent season, please be sure
to join together as a parish family
on the following days:
Advent Taizé Prayer Service
Saturdays at 3:30 PM
As we patiently wait to welcome the Christ-Child we offer an Advent Taizé Prayer Service at 3:30 p.m. before the 4:00 p.m. Saturday Mass. We invite all of you to begin each week of Advent with our Taizé Prayer Service in which we sing psalms, hear scripture, reflect, all in the context of Adoration before the Blessed Sacrament. Each Taizé Prayer Service ends with a special blessing. Please join us and pray in the quiet stillness of Advent.
