Hello,
Happy day before Thanksgiving! I want to wish you the very best holiday with family, friends and hope you get a chance to pause in the hustle and bustle and consider those things in your life that you’re thankful for. This weekend begins our Advent season of preparation as we await the coming of Jesus.
With the new liturgical year, the staff of St. Matthias has been busy planning events to help you make the most of this Advent season. Attached you will find a video of Fr. Ray sharing his thoughts and reflections on Advent and a description of upcoming events.
Together let us await the Lord in Hope, Peace, Joy, & Love.
God Bless,
Joe
