Lord God, may we, your people, who look forward to the birthday of Christ, experience the joy of salvation and celebrate that feast with love and thanksgiving. We ask this through Christ our Lord and the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever. Amen
Advent Confessions There will be extra times of confession. As throughout the entire year, confessions will be heard one half hour before weekday Masses and before Sunday morning 9:30 Mass. In addition, confessions will be heard for one half hour after the Masses Dec. 20 & 22. We hope these extra times will prove to be convenient for all who wish to celebrate the Lord’s Mercy before Christmas.
All servers welcome in the Sanctuary at all liturgies.
