gift is from above,
coming down from the Father of heavenly lights.”

A Beacon of Light
After more than 30 years abroad caring for AIDS-afflicted children in South Africa, Sister Anece Salay returned to the United States earlier this year. Her physical being has been back these many months, but the sacred season of Advent has shown Sister that her spirit, too, is home at last.
We offer our blessings of gratitude to all those who supported
our Sisters and our ministries on Giving Tuesday. Your generosity has shone a loving light upon our community, Monocacy Farm Project and St. Francis Center for Renewal. May God Bless you.
Simply Prayer:
Advent ... A Season of Hope
9:45 to 11:30 a.m. | Tuesday, December 7
Christmas is coming! There are loved ones to see, gifts to give, baking to share and homes to prepare. The Advent season is a beautiful reminder to prepare our hearts just as we would our homes. Get your house and heart in order by joining Sister Marguerite Stewart in person or online this Tuesday for a morning of prayer, reflection and sharing in the spirit of the season.
