As we celebrate the joy of the Advent season, we slowly prepare ourselves to receive Christ in our hearts in a special way during the Christmas season. To help us in this preparation, the Church has given us the gift of the Sacrament of Reconciliation for the cleansing and strengthening of souls. Please join us for prayer, song and confession at our annual Advent Penance Service on Monday, December 5 at 6:00 P.M.
Saint Teresa of Calcutta once said, "Before the birth of Jesus, His parents asked for a simple dwelling place, but there was none. If Mary and Joseph were looking for a home for Jesus, would they choose ... your heart, and all it holds?
Let us pray that we shall be able to welcome Jesus at Christmas not in the cold manger of a selfish heart, but in a heart full of love, compassion, joy and peace, a heart warm with love for one another."
