Ladies:
Set aside a few hours on December 6th to prepare for this year’s season of Advent. Be an Advent by Candlelight table hostess and we will reserve a table for you and your friends. Hostesses provide table settings, holiday decorations, candles, and a dessert for up to 8 people. You can co-hostess a table too! It requires only a few hours and there will be "Advent Angels" to meet you at your car and help with your items--both arriving and packing up.
Set up for the event begins at 5:00 pm on Thursday, December 6. The event for your guests will be held at St. Jerome Parish in Marian Hall from 6:30 – 8:15 pm.Once you register as a hostess, we will send you a complete "Hostess Guide" and electronic invitations to send out to your friends. This is a GREAT way to invite those who might not attend Church every Sunday to become better acquainted with the parish. Women of all faiths are welcome.
Begin Advent in peace, prayer, and candlelight!
