TODAY IS THE FIRST SUNDAY OF ADVENT. As followers of Jesus, we imitate Him. Jesus was always hopeful and spread the gift of hope to others. Jesus opens our ears to hear God’s messages of hope–“the music of the future.” In this first week of Advent, we especially focus on this gift of hope: our hope in the coming of our Savior. We are offering the following opportunities to celebrate a hope-filled Advent at St. Catherine:
- PARISH ADVENT PENANCE SERVICE, Tues., Dec. 1 at 7:30 p.m.
- IMMACULATE CONCEPTION MASS, Tues., Dec. 8 at 12 p.m. & 7 p.m.
- OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE MASS, Fri., Dec. 11 at 7 p.m.
Our annual Mass for the Feast of Our Lady will feature a dramatization by our Amigos Club of the appearance of the Virgin Mary to St. Juan Diego, as well our guest musicians Mariachi Relámpago– but this year it will be offered via livestream only on the livestream page.
It’s time to bring out and bless the Advent wreath! The progressive lighting of the candles symbolizes the expectation and hope surrounding our Lord’s first coming into the world and the anticipation of his second coming to judge the living and the dead. This blessing from USCCB can be used to bless your family wreath:
