Dear St Francis Church Family 
May God's Advent Light, growing in the brightness of the Christmas blessing, renewed in a matter of days, bring us all ever deeper into the mystery and power of the Incarnation,
God with us, in every moment and in every way!
And so I pray that you are able to be present in these precious days before Christmas in a peaceful and receptive way and not too overwhelmed!
With love and care for each of you,
Paula+

Transitions in one's

career
transitions. Whether this is your first workshop or if you've attended the previous workshop, you are welcome to attend! Advance registration is required.
