You will be randomly matched with another member of our community who will pray for you by name during this Advent season. You will know who you are praying for, but you will not know who is praying for you. This will be revealed before Christmas! If you have any questions, please reach out to Jenna (jes544).

The Cornell Catholic staff is hosting a video series called 'Home for the Holidays'. The ministry team will virtually invite you into our homes and share some traditions, cook with you, and more. Find Fr. Dan's video on making an Advent wreath here and keep an eye out for Matthew's video premiering this Saturday on our Youtube Channel. As a part of Home for the Holidays we invite you to submit any photos or recipes throughout this month by emailing Abrey (aaf87). You can submit photos of your Advent wreath if you made one or pictures of other ways you are preparing for the season! We will post the photos on our website and, with your permission, social media. We also will share any recipes submitted by community members, in hopes that we can all stay connected even while we are far apart.

During this season of Advent the community will continue to gather on Sundays at 8:30 p.m. for Evening Prayer (Vespers). We will also celebrate Evening Prayer on the seven weekdays before Christmas, on December 17 to 23 at 8:30 p.m. Fr. Dan will preach a homily at all of these services. Each service is approximately 20 minutes long. Bring your friends and family! Lectors are needed for each service. There is the opportunity for up to four lectors for each liturgy. Please volunteer for this important liturgical ministry! Email Matthew to sign-up (mh968). Find more information here.
