Advent Faith & Fellowship Groups

Beginning December 1 & 2, 2024!

For Christians, Advent is not meant to be a time of passive waiting, but rather of hopeful preparation for the coming of the Lord. Join one of the Advent Faith & Fellowship Groups as we use a devotional booklet by Bishop Robert Barron who invites us to enter more deeply into the prayerful nature of the season.

We will have Advent Gospel Reflections that features the full Gospel reading for each day of Advent, a daily reflection from Bishop Barron, space for journaling and answering reflection questions, and more!

No cost to join but registration is requested.

Advent & Christmas Prayer Intentions & Requests

As a community of faith, we are brothers and sisters – one family – in the Lord.

One of the gifts we can give to each other is to hold each other and our special intentions in prayer.

There’s a strength and peace that comes when we pray for one another.  If you have a special intention or prayer request, please complete the form below.  You can either keep this intention private (only shared among our priests and deacons), or you can share this with the entire community so all our members can keep you, your intention, and/or your loved one in prayer.

Advent & Christmas Newsletter

Only Jesus…

He is the perfect gift. Jesus is everything we need. He is the promise of Wisdom, Hope, Strength, Peace.  What we need this Christmas is “Only Jesus.” He is Emmanuel. He is God with us which brings us all that we need.

This Christmas, and always, see the perfect gift – Only Jesus.

Please join us throughout the Advent and Christmas Season as we come together to celebrate our Hope and our Faith in Jesus Christ.

Invite someone to join you for Christmas Mass or one of our Advent Programs. You will be giving them the ‘perfect gift’ of Jesus Christ.

God bless you and your loved ones. Be assured of my prayers.

Father Bob Stec

Remembering Your Angels

Hear the Angels Sing…Gloria! Angels are all around us!!!

The tree in our narthex is filled with ‘angel’ ornaments each representing a member and family in our parish community. The ‘angel’ tree is beautiful and radiant. So is our parish community.

Take some time, in these Christmas days, to look and listen carefully… to see and hear the angels of God all around you.

Remember your ‘angels’ – your loved ones who have gone home to the Lord.

Join us for Christmas Mass
