Dear Friends in Christ,
As we enter into the Second Week of Advent I would like to ensure that you are aware of the many opportunities and special events being offered…
- Monday, December 8 – Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception: This is a Holy Day of Obligation as our country is placed under the patronage of the Immaculate Conception. I hope to see you at one of the Masses offered that day. The times are listed in the box below.
- Wednesday, December 10 – Starry Night: Activities will be available for all ages including the opportunity to pack thousands of meals for those who suffer from hunger. We will also enjoy wonderful fellowship and have some special guests!
- Friday, December 12 – Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe: We will celebrate Mass (7pm) in Spanish in honor of the Patroness of the Americas. All are welcome to attend!
As you can see, it is going to be a busy week!
During these days we are called upon to embrace the gift of joyful hope. I pray that you and your loved ones will be blessed with God’s grace now and always. When you come before the Lord, please remember to pray for me and for the Priests and Religious Sisters of our parish. May we meet each day in our prayers!
With joyful hope,
Very Rev. Stephen D. Parkes, V.F.
Pastor
