Advent Mission 2024

Advent is a time of preparation for the celebration of Christmas.  The Advent Mission will focus on the Infancy Narratives as found in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke, looking at the persons of Joseph and Mary.  The mission will ask the fundamental question of what has the inspired Word of God to do with our lives today?

I invite you to take the time to come and journey through the Sacred Scriptures and the lives of the Holy Family and our families!
