Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception
Fr. Farano will celebrate Mass on the eve of the feast at 7 p.m., December 7. Under this title, Mary serves as the patroness of the United States and of our diocese. In honoring her we acknowledge her sinless nature and her magnificent “yes” to the angel’s message that God desired her to be the mother of Jesus. Please sign up for ministries in the
parking lot vestibule.

December 3, 2017 ~ 1st Sunday of advent
1st Sunday of Advent
As the first Sunday of
Advent begins, we take time to reflect on our
journey as Catholics and start this liturgical waiting period. We ask ourselves, “how can we be more alert to the needs of others each day?” As you take time to
welcome the 1st Sunday of Advent consider this prayer:
Jesus, help us prepare our heats to meet you. We don’t know when you will come again,
but we do know that we see you daily in the face, of every person we meet. We especially see you ,
in the faces of those in need. Amen.
Food Pantry Christmas Card Sale

transportation to the 11:00 AM Liturgy on
