Happy New Year! This weekend we begin a new Church year as we celebrate the First Sunday of Advent. Advent is a season of preparation and an extremely busy time. It is hard to believe that there is a little over three weeks until Christmas. There seems to be so much to do and so little time to do it. Our Church invites us during this season to prepare for Christmas spiritually. We are invited to take time daily to prepare for the Lordโ€™s coming in our lives. Another important part of preparing for Christmas is to experience Godโ€™s mercy and forgiveness in the Sacrament of Reconciliation. We will have an Advent Penance Service on Monday, December 11th, at St. Patrickโ€™s Church in Whitney Point. Fr. Thomas and I will be available to celebrate Godโ€™s mercy and forgiveness on this special evening.

Another way for us to prepare during this special season is to take part in the Christmas star program. This program provides gifts for the less fortunate in our area. We ask that you simply take a star, purchase and wrap the gift, putting the star on the outside of the gift.

As we begin another Church Year of Grace, let us take some time in our lives to Prepare the Way of the Lord! HAVE A GREAT WEEK!!
