Advent + Christmas + Solemnity of Mary

What is Advent, and why is it important to us as Catholics?

Families, individuals, and parish small groups are encouraged to follow along with Dynamic Catholic’s Best Advent Ever as they journey through Matthew Kelly’s book Slowing Down to the Speed of Joy and learn how to slow down, reconnect with God, and take your Advent back from the tyrant we call busy.

Some times have been extended or added to regularly scheduled times. Plan for Confession to avoid last-minute long lines. Please note that the parish offices will be closed on Wednesday, December 24, and Thursday, December 25.
