Advent is a penitential season, one of anticipation and preparation. With that in mind, we encourage everyone to reconcile their hearts to God to prepare a place to welcome the most precious Christ Child. Opportunities for Advent confessions will be held 6pm Monday, December 16th and Wednesday, December 18^th.

Monthly Prayer Intention

For November:
Let’s pray for our newly elected leaders whether we voted for them or not. We pray that the Holy Spirit fills them with wisdom and discernment. Dear Lord, heal and restore our divided nation and give our leaders sincere hearts ready and willing to be open to listen to each other so we can work for peace and justice. Amen.

Tickets are $150 per person but include a bus, the Christmas Spectacular Show at Rockefeller Center and gratuities to the driver. The deadline to purchase ticket will be Wednesday, November 6th and must be paid in full before deadline. There are only 50 available tickets so please plan early if you’d like to participate.
