In the Catholic Church, Advent is a period of preparation, extending over four Sundays, before Christmas. This year, Advent will begin this Sunday, December 3 rd. The word Advent comes from the Latin advenio, "to come to," and refers to the coming of Christ. This refers, first of all, to our celebration of Christ's birth at Christmas; but second, to the coming of Christ in our lives through grace and the Sacrament of Holy Communion; and finally, to His second coming at the end of time.

MTC Athletic Booster Club Fundraiser For our 2017 Sports Booster fundraiser, we decided to sell World’s Finest Chocolate. Last year, our profit from chocolate sales was $13,500, This money helped purchase additional technology for the children. This year, profits from the chocolate sales will go towards various athletic and after school programs. Our goal is to raise enough money to build an outside basketball court, a track course, a concession stand and outside restrooms. Chocolate sales will begin November 16th and will end December 11th.
