• First Sunday of Advent

  Sunday Dec 1, 2024 All day

  

  
  

  Advent begins Sunday, December 1st. During this season, we prepare our homes and lives for Jesus, the King of Glory and the Prince of Peace. Mark these four weeks of preparation with an Advent wreath in your home.

  
  

  On the First Sunday of Advent, we invite you to bring your purple Advent candle to Mass. We will light our candles from the church’s Advent wreath as a symbol of our community and unity as a parish family.

  
  

  To ensure everyone can participate in this tradition, we will have boxes of Advent candles available for purchase for $5.00 in the Rectory office during the coming weeks and in the Gathering Center on the weekend of Saturday, November 30, and Sunday, December 1st, after all Masses.

  Dear Parishioners,

  
  

  Christmas is the time of holy angels! It was a choir of such angels that first announced the birth of Our Lord to the shepherds and to a waiting world. What a privilege it is for us to be a part of this family of Holy Angels, announcing and being to the world of today that same great message of Love! Thank you for being such a family. May the newborn Christ Child bless you and your dear family with the joy, peace, and love that is Christmas!
