Advent Wreath Candle Lighting before Mass |
Everyone is invited to take a turn lighting the Advent Wreath through out this beautiful Season of Advent. There is a signup sheet in the Narthex where we ask you to sign up for your day and mass time. If no one is signed up for your mass, please let a Hospitality Minister know if you are interested. We are hopeful to get a new family or individual at every mass this year. God Bless! |
