Starting the weekend of December 2-3, the Church will be celebrating the season of Advent, a time to anticipate the birth of Christ, the Light of the World. Our parish will continue its tradition of inviting families to carry the lighted Advent candle in procession at the beginning of each weekend Mass.
If your family is interested in participating in this special tradition, please arrive at the church 20 minutes before Mass starts, and let the deacon know that you are interested in carrying the Advent candle.
If you'd like to know more about the origins and meaning of the Advent Wreath, see the page on the
Advent and Christmas season, under
