“Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow.”

James 1:17

Reflecting on the arrival of God’s only son, there is a wondrous opportunity for each of us to begin again in His love. We invite you to join us in celebrating Advent through Mass, prayer and reflection.

In the season of light and joy, there is no better gift than preparing for and keeping Jesus Christ in your heart.
