Advent-Christmas News
May 9, 2025Information Regarding the Seasons of Advent & Christmas
The nights are going darker and the tempetures are dropping. We are in the final days of our 2024 Liturgical Calendar and looking ahead to the New Church Year!
All families should have received a "Cradle-Invitation" Letter with an Advent-Christmas Schedule. You can access the letter and schedule by clicking the links (blue wording).
Please note the increased opportunities to spend time with our Lord in Adoration and to prepare your heart and soul to receive Jesus via the Sacrament of Confession. Fr. Jason continues to offer opportunities for "drive-up" Confession, trying to give the greatest opportunity to receive God's Sanctifying Grace, Love and Mercy.
