Messages from the Pastor
ADVENT A time-honored tradition is the lighting of Advent candles to
remind us of Christ's message of hope, love, joy and peace. The
circular Advent wreath represents the eternity of the blessed Trinity,
without beginning or end. The light from the candle's flame
represents Jesus, the light of the world. As the candles burn,
consuming their wax, they visibly mark the passing of time to
Christmas Day. Let us help you prepare as we begin to celebrate
the day of Christ's birth!
We hope you will stop by the church office for your Advent Wreaths and Advent Candles.
Advent Wreath: $8.00
Set of 4 Advent Candles: $8:00
Both Advent Wreath and set of 4 Advent
Candles: $16.00

Thank you also to the Knights of Columbus for their generous donation. We are truly blessed to be part of a parish with such loving, caring, parishioners. God Bless you all.
