Christmas is coming, and everyone is preparing. Stores have special sales, neighborhoods are ablaze with lights, and people are busy decorating, cooking, and buying gifts. Amidst all the hustle and bustle, it is easy to forget to prepare our hearts and souls for the real reason for the season.

The Evangelization Commission invites you to take 20 minutes and journey with Mary to Bethlehem at the annual Stations of the Crib at 4:30, Saturday, December 6 and 8:30, Sunday, December 7 preceding the Masses. We will use the same format as the Stations of the Cross, but the focus will be on Mary’s journey to give birth to our Savior.

Please come to Mass a few minutes earlier and give yourself the gift of joy in the season.

Our parish Faith Formation program is creating a Bible Library for our middle school students, and we are asking for your support. We hope to provide each class with 34 Catholic Teen Bibles that match the curriculum being taught in our program.

If you feel called to help, you may purchase a Bible as a donation to our Faith Formation program for $26.72 from Amazon. You may also give your donation in honor or in memory of a loved one. Bibles donated in memory of someone special will include a personalized dedication sticker placed inside, listing your loved one’s name and the name of the donor.
