From Our Pastor

FIRST SUNDAY OF ADVENT

Once again, Happy New Year and welcome to another liturgical year … another Advent … a new opportunity to prepare our minds and hearts for the coming of Jesus into the world on Christmas Day and at the end of time. How blessed we are to believe that the infinite, almighty, eternal God came among us in time. We are even more blessed to believe that his coming offers us the hope for eternal live in God’s loving embrace. Advent Season speaks of both of these comings and it’s important […]

With these words, our Lord calls us to prepare us for his coming; he comes to bring us to God’s kingdom. As […]
