St. Mary’s Basilica Adult Scripture Study
With Roberto Duron
About the Gospel: The focus of Sunday’s Gospel is the Second Coming of Jesus. It contains a strong message for us to not be distracted by problems or our own bad behaviors while we wait. Jesus wants us to be good to others and ourselves while we prepare for his return. In Church: Take one gift request from the parish Giving Tree to share the joy and love of Christmas with a child in need. Question of the Week: How can you serve and help build the Kingdom of God?
Due to the holiday, we will not be meeting in person this Sunday. We hope you join us next week.
Mass intention requests are now available online.
Please go to www.saintmarysbasilica.org
