Faith-Family Connection
So what is Advent and what does it mean to your family? Advent comes from the Latin word meaning “coming”. Advent is a season of preparation for Jesus’ arrival. The purple color associated with Advent is the color of penance. Rose, the color of the Third Sunday, symbolizes joy and represents the happiness we will experience when Jesus comes again. So how do our children and we celebrate this season:
Last call - The Confirmation Class is still in need of new decks of cards for their holiday bags for the men at Immacare shelter. Two packs of cards are available for $1.00 at the Dollar Store. Please consider picking a package up as you shop for Christmas. Many thanks for your support.
On behalf of the entire10th grade Confirmation Community many thanks to everyone, who kept these young men and women in their prayers. We had a beautiful celebration with Bishop Rosazza.
Special thanks to: our music ministers, altar server and greeters; the Prayer Shawl ministry for your lovely prayer squares that were included in the class journals; the Knights of Columbus for helping to set up the benches and the church hall; Gale Busemeyer for handwriting the candidates certificates; and our 9th grade Confirmation Community for baking items for the reception following the service.
