“Love is the True North that always leads us home.”
CHURCH CHATDuring the season of Advent, we hear frequently from John the
Baptist proclaiming the coming of Christ. This is very fitting for the
season where we anticipate Christmas Day. A day we will spend with family and friends. May we also focus on the true meaning of the season, deepening our spiritual life,
and growing closer to Jesus Christ. Find new ways to deepen your faith this season, through prayer, charity, and frequenting
mass. As always mass this weekend is at 4:30pm Saturday, or
8:00/10:30am on Sunday. Let us gather in joy for the coming of our
Savior.
