Offering Our Three-Wick Candles for the Holidays
Light up your home this Advent season with these wonderfully scented three wick candles.
As you engage in your Advent devotions, pray for the 301 Faith Partners — and for all those who have suffered loss of property and livestock in the wildfires that plague us due to climate change.
Candles may be purchased in the church office for $20. There are also on the counter in the Narthex with a vase beside them to collect donations. Proceeds will support firefighters.

Cookie Exchange with the Hospitality Committee
Please join us after Mass on December 19th for some social gathering time together.
We’ll briefly meet to exchange some Christmas cheer, with masks….no eating, just sharing. Here are the details for the cookie exchange:
-
Bring a covered plate of 6-12 Christmas cookies, or whatever holiday treat you bake. Write the name of the baked good on the covered plate and if it is GF, DF, V, etc.
- Plates should be plastic, paper or something you do not want returned. A good time to use the many Christmas tins you’ve acquired
- If you bring a plate, you take a plate home. Bring two and take two home.
- If you have extra cookies, bring an additional plate for those who do not bake: we‘ll label a table “Merry Christmas” for your treat donations.
- If you don’t bake anymore, please stay to share time together and take home a plate from the “Merry Christmas” table.
