♫ Let every heart prepare him room ♫

Advent is a time of preparation for the coming of Jesus ...at Christmas, at the end of time, and into our hearts each and every day. Although not a season of penance, reconciliation finds a special place in Advent, as we seek to approach Jesus' coming with hearts free of sin and filled of praise.

Participate in the Parish Advent Reconciliation Service, an opportunity to examine our lives, go to confession, and open ourselves to God's boundless mercy.  Then celebrate  afterward with refreshments in the courtyard!

Come and celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ!
Bring your family, your friends, your neighbors...
All are welcome!

Why do Catholics call Mary “the Mother of God”?

The Catholic Church dedicates the first day of our secular year, January 1, to Mary under her title “Mother of God.” This title was officially affirmed by the Council of Ephesus in 431 C.E. although Mary had been called “Theotokos” (The Bearer of God) since the very early days of the Church.

​As with all Marian dogmas, “Mother of God” says more about Jesus than about Mary. It reinforces our belief that Jesus is, truly and fully, both human and divine. Mary always points us to her Son and our relationship with him.

What does this mean for us? We hold Mary as our model. She is the first person who received Jesus into herself and birthed him into the world. She encourages us also to be bearers of Jesus to our world…to our families, neighborhoods, workplaces and beyond. As disciples of Mary’s Son we are called to bring God’s love, compassion, mercy and healing to others. We ask Mary to pray for us that we may be given the grace to do this each and every day.

Wonderful daily reflections for the Advent and Christmas seasons, simple, insightful, inspiring and easy to read.
Suggested donation of $2 each.
Have a prayerful, peaceful Advent!
