Advent is a season of hope and preparation. It invites us to ready our hearts for Christ’s coming—both at Christmas and at the end of time. Like Lent, it’s marked by prayer, quiet discipline, and joyful anticipation. We’re called not to predict, but to stay awake, alert, and open to God’s presence in our lives (cf. Lk 21:34–36).
Advent Events
This holy season is richer when we walk it together. We invite you and your family to take part in as many of our Advent events as you can. Each gathering is a chance to pause, pray, and prepare your heart for the joy of Christmas. Come be renewed in hope.
Spending time in Eucharistic Adoration provides an opportunity for personal reflection, spiritual growth, and a deeper union with our Lord. Making a Holy Hour allows us to quiet our hearts, listen to God's voice, and experience His peace.
Step into the story of Christ’s birth through a walk-through, family-led experience. Journey alongside Mary and Joseph, meet shepherds and angels, and discover the joy of the manger. This evening is designed to help children and families anticipate and celebrate the birth of Jesus in a hands-on, hope-filled way.
Gather with parish families for an evening centered on the Eucharist. The Festival of Praise includes Eucharistic Adoration, live worship music by Courtney and Jacob Gindhart, a Eucharistic Procession, a reflection from Deacon Don Ruby, and Benediction.

Advent prepares us to welcome Christ by opening our eyes to the unseen company of angels, who announce his coming, lead people to him, and continue to guide and guard us today. Moving from Advent’s history through the biblical Christmas stories, this talk offers practical ways to cultivate a lively devotion to the holy angels.
