Storm Cancellations In anticipation of Hurricane Lee, we have decided to cancel the following events: - Nightfever - September 16 - Communal Rosary - September 16 - Couples for Christ Family Assembly - September 17 We pray for the safety of all.

If you can, join us tomorrow to pray for an end to the wildfires, and to pray for displaced people in our community and first responders. Anyone who is looking for a quiet place to pray is welcome. We will share about other practical ways to help as soon as we can.

Lenten Mission Day 2! Beautiful music while Confessions are being heard and sins forgiven.

Each of us is the result of a thought of God. Each of us is willed, each of us is loved, each of us is necessary. — Benedict XVI

“God cannot give us a happiness and peace apart from himself, because it is not there. There is no such thing.” - C.S. Lewis

"As gifts increase in you, let your humility grow ~~ for you must consider that everything is given to you on loan."

And if we truly want to celebrate #Christmas, let us rediscover awe before a God who becomes little, who is not born in splendour, but in the poverty of a stable. To meet Him, we must go where He is. We must lower ourselves, make ourselves little.

Let us ask Mary, the Virgin of Sweet Expectation, to teach us how to "watch and pray" so we do not get distracted in our following of her Son, and to discover His saving presence in the events of our daily lives. #Advent

"Prayer is the best weapon we have. It is the key that opens the heart of God.'

DAY 17: St. Gerard Majella ... patron of expectant mothers. St. Gerard, pray for us! Etsy.com/shop/matthewwa…

May Our Lady take us by the hand in these days of preparation for #Christmas. And in the littleness of her Child, may she help us recognize the greatness of the God who comes. #Advent

"If you should fall, be humble, make a resolution to be submissive to God's will and then ~~ get up and carry on."

Preparing the #creche for Baby Jesus, we once again learn who our Lord is. He is the God of humble meekness, of mercy and love, who intervenes always respecting our freedom and our choices.

DAY 13: Happy feast of St. Lucy! St. Lucy, pray for us! etsy.com/shop/matthewwa…

"Time spent in the honor of God and for the salvation of souls is never badly spent."

Season of #Advent, let us be shaken out of our torpor to recognize God’s present in daily situations. If we are unaware of his coming today, we will also be unprepared when He arrives at the end of time. Let us remain vigilant!

“God cannot give us a happiness and peace apart from Himself, because it is not there. There is no such thing.” - C.S. Lewis

During this #Advent Season, let us ask the Lord to help us keep the lamp of faith alit in our lives, to be prepared to receive him, and that he fill us with peace and joy.
