2022 Missal Books and Advent Reading Books

    Find time to read the advent reading book to prepare yourselves to have a meaningful Christmas. We look forward to coming together in small groups to share our reflections. The missal books are for your personal use to bring to Mass each time you attend in order to participate in the Liturgy. You can put your name and bookmarks in your copy. If you have not received your personal missal or your advent reading book, they are available in the vestibule, or you may contact the office.

Advent in Action

      There are 4 candles in the Advent wreath, representing the four Sundays of Advent. We assign four virtues -FAITH - HOPE - JOY - LOVE - to live by each week to prepare ourselves for Christmas.
      The first Sunday Advent is FAITH. How can we put FAITH in action this week? Here are some practical things that you can do throughout the season of advent, and you can also come up with your own:
*** Receive the Sacraments (confession, Holy Eucharist).
*** Limit your TV/computer time and spend more time in prayer.
*** Begin a Nativity scene.
*** Read the entire Gospel of Luke.
*** Turn to the Saints.
*** Do some Advent reading, such as "Life is Messy."
*** Read the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
*** Still the noise with sacred sounds, hymns such as "O Come, O Come Emmanuel."
*** Find a quiet time and contemplate. Make a visit to the Blessed Sacrament.
*** Send a bible passage to your friends.
And finally:
*** Tell someone about your Faith in Jesus Christ.
