Please join us throughout the beautiful upcoming Advent and Christmas seasons as we come together to celebrate our Hope and our Faith. Invite someone to join you for one of our Advent liturgies or for Christmas Mass. You will be giving them the “perfect gift” of Jesus Christ. Beginning the Church’s liturgical year, Advent is the season encompassing the four Sundays (and weekdays) leading up to the celebration of Christmas. The season of Advent is a time of preparation that directs our hearts and minds to Christ’s second coming at the end of time and to the anniversary of His birth at Christmas.

The liturgical season of Christmas begins with the Vigil Mass on Christmas Eve and concludes on the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord. During this season, we celebrate the birth of Christ into our world and into our hearts and reflect on the gift of salvation that is born with Him, including the fact that He was born to die for us. May we stay close to the Babe of Bethlehem, meeting Christ in our souls and bringing Him into the world.
