During Advent, we contemplate the First Coming of Jesus as Savior, and anticipate his promised Second Coming. Amid the flurry of Christmas preparations, we look for ways to observe the holiness of the season in our everyday lives.  We invite you to receive an Advent Reflection each morning via email, written by one of our Parishioners or by a member of the Clergy.  If you were a part of our Lent Reflections you are already signed up!  If you were not and would like to receive them please email [email protected].

Night to Shine Guest and Volunteer registration will open on our website December 1, 2025. Please check back at that time to register online.

Please be advised there is a scam going around in which parishioners have been receiving text messages from someone claiming to be Fr. Chris. These texts usual seek to initiate a conversation that leads to asking for money or gift cards. Fr. Chris will never contact parishioners via text message or email asking for gift cards or money. If you receive a text message or email of this nature do not respond. Always contact the parish office or Fr. Chris directly if you ever suspect an email or text message might be a scam or seems questionable.
