PARISH MISSION STATEMENT
As a Eucharist-centered, Giving-focused Parish, we strive to more fully know, love, and serve God, neighbor and church, while faithfully learning and living-out His Word.
WATCHFUL CONFIDENCE We the Church enter into Advent and the new liturgical year with a call for a watchful confidence. Our readings were originally addressed to communities undergoing great loss and confusion. Jeremiah speaks confidently of God fulfilling the ancient promises to Israel, even during a time of foreign invasion. Paul speaks of God leading the Church into holiness, while the community longs for the coming of Jesus. In the Gospel passage from Luke, Jesus speaks of powerful signs and of great confusion to come, but emphasizes that we may look forward knowing that God brings not cause for despair, but hope. We celebrate Advent to remind each other of God’s faithfulness. We are to be watchful, to see how God is stirring up our world. God disturbs both our pride and our complacency, and brings us healing and justice. We prepare ourselves to welcome Jesus, confident that God indeed fulfills all these divine promises. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Seven Women, One Priest, One Hour, One Day, Holy Eucharist… The Seven Sisters Apostolate is a call to strengthen the Church by ensuring that a Holy Hour is prayed each day of the week for the sole intention of a specific priest or bishop—a “holy wasting”(cf. Mt. 26:10) or lavishing of prayer for his deeper conformity to Christ.
Our Team is in need of a new Sister! Please contact Cheri in the office if you can give an
hour of prayer for Father Philip
